SYMPTOMS
When you try to log on to an Active Directory directory service domain from a Virtual PC guest PC operating system, you may experience either of the following symptoms:
 * There is a long delay during the authentication process.
 * Some network resources are not available after you log on to the domain.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if both the following conditions are true:
 * You configure a guest PC to use the Shared Networking (NAT) networking option.

-and-
 * You install an operating system that supports Active Directory in the guest PC. For example, you install Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, or Windows Server 2003.

This problem occurs because of a conflict between the shared IP address and the Kerberos version 5 authentication protocol that Active Directory uses. Because of this conflict, Kerberos does not permit the guest PC to resolve the logon scripts or policies from the domain controller.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, configure the guest PC to use the Virtual Switch networking option, and then configure the guest PC to obtain an IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on the network, or configure the guest operating system with a static IP address. To configure the guest PC to use the Virtual Switch networking option, follow these steps:  Start Virtual PC. Click your  , and then click Settings. In the left pane, click Networking, and then click Virtual Switch in the right pane. Click one of the options in the Virtual Switch list to permit access to the external network.
