The directions from Berkeley are correct except that if they are running
Win2000 then the machine requires a reboot after the .reg file is 
imported.

The user should then be able to browse with explorer and as long as they
use their full User Principal Name as known to the Active Directory 
domain, they will be able to access the shares.

The users should also be able to start a cmd.exe session with the "Run 
As" option and log into the local machine using their Active Directory 
User Principal Name provided that they establish an account mapping.

Are you sure your users are using the full UPN and not just the first
component?
