Network access: Allow anonymous SID/Name translation

Information

Network access: Allow anonymous SID/name translation

This security setting determines if an anonymous user can request security identifier (SID) attributes for another user.

If this policy is enabled, a user with knowledge of an administrator's SID could contact a computer that has this policy enabled and use the SID to get the administrator's name.

Default on workstations and member servers: Disabled.
Default on domain controllers: Enabled.

Solution

Policy Path: Local Policies\Security Options
