A call to my friendly tech-support person revealed that the fix was actually not in 5.3.2R1, but was in 5.3.2D3. Aha. So I moved to 5.3.2D3, and now it's playing nice.
Yep... That would be what you needed if you're getting into the Windows 2000 domain controller game (i.e. Win2K infrastructure, rather than just Win2K clients) , and we're obviously glad to hear it's done the trick for you.
More generally though, I'd like to take the opportunity to draw people's attention once again to the NetApp Windows 2000 Testing Alliance, which we've been running for many months now. Ensuring the interoperability of our filer products with Windows 2000 is of key importance to NetApp moving forward. As Brian has now found out, we've already done much of the work needed to achieve interoperability today, and it's a full 2 months or more before Win2K is currently slated to put in an appearance in its finished form (I told you we considered it important! :-)).
But... as there's still at least a couple of months left, we would very much like to hear from you if you're using filers in conjunction with Win2K. If you could take a moment to share your experiences, good or bad, at:

you will have a direct line into the folk whose mission it is to make the Windows NT to Windows 2000 transition a smooth one.
