SUMMARY

This article describes the reason that Windows 2000-based clients do not use the DES-CBC-CRC encryption type.

MORE INFORMATION

Windows 2000 uses the Kerberos protocol to support the following encryption types:

  • RC4-HMAC
  • DES-CBC-MD5
  • DES-CBC-CRC

The support, however, for the DES-CBC-CRC encryption type is primarily for Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Kerberos interoperability. If a Windows 2000 user account in configured to use DES encryption, a Windows 2000-based client requests a Ticket to Get Tickets (TGT) by using the DES-CBC-MD5 encryption type. You cannot configure a Windows 2000-based client to request a TGT by using the DES-CBC-CRC encryption type.
