Restore from CD in Active Directory Environment

I have a 2003 AD environment. I created an image from a PC to my servers "Backups" share

I put the bootable media(CD) in the drive
Boot.


Click Advanced options (the top selection)

I chose the location to restore to, partition, disk and what not
then I drill down through the network browser. I locatate my server
click the colapse button to display the shares, and it prompts for a user name and password. I put in my user name and password (with Domain admin rights) and it rejects.
then I try domainname\username and password
Rejected.
I try another user
rejected.

so I got clever and copied the image to a workstation, then drilled down to that workstation in the broswer. it promptsfor a user name and password.
I enter a LOCAL username and password for that workstation. It works.

so I find that Acronis 8 does not work with active directory?
I turned down the LAN MANAGER settings to accecct NTLMv2 and NTLM hashes, reset the password (so it is stored with both hashes)
it fails. with AD you cannot have local users on a 2003 box.

a way around this? or am I screwed? I want to use my server not a workstion for the images.
