Can anyone tell me whether I am having the wrong version of ktpass or is this a Windows 2008 security issue? Thanks.

Actually, the version that you are suppose to use is from 2003 and not 2008, because the version number of 2008 is 6.1.6801.0

Have you followed the proper way to configure the ktpass from this link - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc753771.aspx

I cannot locate or download the Windows 2008 admin kit? I am assuming that I used the 2003 admin kit because of this? Can anyone pelase help. Thanks.

I think that it is already included in the install, there is no need for the kit. You just need to check under windows\system32 in my 2008 Enterprise edition. Hope that helps.
