Check to be sure the local console username and passord, exactly match the username and password used on the servers. It sounds like you have the exact match for Win2k3, but the SBS has a different username and/or password pair. It is likely the password, given the error message. Remember these are CaSe sensitive.

Finally, be default, Vista will not do LM hashes, nor pass them for authentication. It also uses NTLM v.2 If SBS is set up for NTLMN, be sure to it accepts NTLM V2. Then for LM hashes you need to either enable this in Vista or disable this in SBS.

To enable in Vista, use Regedit (as your version of Vista does not have SECPOL.MSC):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
"LmCompatibilityLevel" Type DWORD
Change this to 00000001
Restart your computer.
