ARCHIVED: In Windows XP Home, how do I enable NTLMv2?
Important: As of April 8, 2014, Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP with security updates. To ensure the highest security standards, the UITS Support Center no longer registers Windows XP devices to the IU network. UITS strongly recommends that you look into the options for replacing or upgrading your Windows XP computers for full compatibility with IU systems. See About end of life for Windows 8.0, 7, Vista, and XP.
Note: By following these instructions, you will change your Windows client to use only NTLMv2 authentication and refuse everything else. In changing to this highest level of security, you may have difficulty connecting to other Windows computers that have not had the equivalent change made.
