Installing SQL 2k Ent in AD environment

While installing SQL Server 2k Ent Ed on a Win2k Server in an Active
Directory environemnt, I have noticed two things different from
installing in a non-AD environment.
1. Using the MS SELECT CD, I am prompted to enter CD-KEY. Normally,
SELECT CDs do not prompt for cd-key. I entered all 1s and was able to
continue.
2. After the install is completed, I can not connect to the server
using Windows authentication. When I try to register the server in
Ent Mgr using my windows login information, I get the following error:
Cannot Generate SSPI Conext Error
I do not get this if I register the server using the sa account.
Do I have to do something different in the Active Directory before
installing SQL Server 2k?
Thanks
JonI don't know about the 1st question, but for the 2nd use the "HOW TO:
Troubleshoot the "Cannot Generate SSPI Context" Error Message" KB article at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;811889.
