On the (windows) client side ... expect to get ORA-12638: credential retrieval failed messages. The default sqlnet.ora file in the 8.1.7 client had sqlnet.authentication_services=3D(NTS). An MS NT4 domain ignored this. An MS Active Directory domain will try to authenticate the user account against the directory, not the password hashes in the dictionary.
