Currently the following procedure takes place during machine startup on =
XP/2003 clients in a domain:

1. Network interface initialization/DHCP - clients get an address, list =
of

DNS servers, default gateway, etc.

2. DNS query for LDAP Service.

3. DNS query for domain controllers. (I actually have DNS queries for

crl.verisign.com, I have no idea why)=20

4. SMB dialect negotiation=20

5. Secure Channel/NetLogon Setup=20

6. DNS query for KDC=20

7. Kerberos Machine authentication=20

8. Kerberos service account authentication=20

9. Distributed File System referral process

10. RPC call for DN Name Conversion=20

11. LDAP query for GPO=20

12. LDAP query for PKI=20

13. NETBIOS crap, if you use it=20

14. time sync=20

15. DNS dynamic update

16. Welcome screen



My goal is to get around the bootstrapping issues which make =
client-to-DC IPSec so difficult (if not impossible) to implement. I do =
not understand why Kerberos needs to take place before Secure =
Channel/Netlogon; in fact, which Kerberos and PKI, I see no need for =
this step at all. Same goes for SMB dialect negotiation. I do not =
expect any of the Kool Aid drinking Microsoft MVPs (or any Microsoft =
personnel for that matter) to provide any help. But if anyone who =
REALLY understands the logon process can give me a hand or point me in =
the right direction, much appreciated.

If not, I will wait until the EU forces Microsoft to open its server =
protocols...
