Notes

1. To get the excel link to work, the Vista system also needs this done to it:
   • Open the Run command and type “secpol.msc” and click OK. If this does not work, see below
   • Click on “Local Policies” –> “Security Options”
   • Navigate to the policy “Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level” and open it.

   By default Windows Vista sets the policy to “NTVLM2 responses only”. Change this to “LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated”.

2. If you are not running Vista Business (secpol.msc does not exist), here is what you need to do:
   1. Run the registry editor and open this key:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
   2. If it doesn’t already exist, create a DWORD value named LmCompatibilityLevel
   3. Set the value to 1
   4. Close the registry editor
