I installed Vista Home Premium on my laptop yesterday night and I am not
able to connect to any of my Samba shares. I tried to follow the
instructions to change the NTLMv2 authentication in the security policies,
which worked fine on my Vista Ultimate RC1, but... there is no secpol.msc
and the snap-in is just 'not there'.

Any suggestions?

Click to expand...

For what ever reason Microsoft decided not to include Local Security
Policies in the Home versions of Vista, so unless there are registry
entries that can be changed to set the authentication type you may be
out of luck.
