I'm transitioning from a very extinct Windows NT Server OS (as a DC) to a Windows Server 2008 (as a DC role).  When bringing the machines onto the new DC's network, some Windows XP (SP3) machines display, "The specified server cannot perform the requested operation".  The event log show an Audit Failure of the following;
