WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, turn on anonymous connections. To do this, follow the appropriate set of steps with regard to the domains in question.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For Microsoft Windows NT domains, follow these steps on all domain controllers:
1. Run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Navigate to the following registry key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA
3. Select the RestrictAnonymous value.
4. On the Edit menu, click Delete.
5. Quit the Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
For Windows 2000 domains, follow these steps:
1. On a domain controller, add the Everyone group to the Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access group. This must be done from the following command line:
  net localgroup "Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access" everyone /add
2. Ensure that the Default Domain Policy under Computer|Configuration|WindowsSettings|Local Policies|Security Options|"Additional restrictions for anonymous connections" is set to one of the following:
  - Not defined
  - None. Rely on default permissions
  - Do not allow enumeration of SAM accounts and shares
  NOTE: You may have custom policies enforcing the anonymous setting. If so, you need to modify the respective group policy.
3. Ensure that the Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access group has permissions by resetting permissions using Dsacls.exe from the support directory on the Windows 2000 CD-ROM:
  dsacls DC=MICROSOFT,DC=COM /I:T /G "BUILTIN\Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access":LC
  
  dsacls cn=server,cn=system,dc=MICROSOFT,dc=com /G "BUILTIN\Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access":RP
  NOTE: The preceding example uses MICROSOFT as the domain name; please change this name to reflect the correct domain.
