There was no real solution to my problem. It persists in our testing environment, but as we knew
it would do no harm to our production evironment we applied the Schema changes to AD and
installed the management tools on the production servers. And here everything worked from the
start. At least from the windows side. As we are now able to add the T64 specific information to
AD I'm going to test the Windows 2000 SSO on T64 5.1 and 5.1A.
Here are some answers I got to my original question:

This is not entirely correct as David Velten, DCE/DFS/ETK/KAP Product Manager
Compaq Computer Corporation states:

Though this is no longer a Compaq product and has to be purchased separately from T64 or campus
license.

cesar.garde_at_compaq.com has successfully installed SSO on Windows 2000, as I have now too, at
least for the windows part.
