SYMPTOMS

After you update your Global Catalog servers with one or both of the following security updates

311401 Windows 2000 Security Rollup Package 1 (SRP1), January 2002

299687 MS01-036: Function Exposed By Using LDAP over SSL Could Enable Passwords to Be Changed

you may experience one or more of the following behaviors:

Microsoft Exchange Outlook clients can no longer browse or resolve names from the global address list. The global address list appears to be empty.
If you remove a mail profile from a client computer, you can no longer re-establish a connection to the Exchange Server computer (to re-create the profile).
You cannot add a network printer by selecting it from the Active Directory. However, you can still add a network printer by selecting it from the tree view.

CAUSE

This behavior may occur if the RestrictAnonymous registry value on the Global Catalog servers is set to 2.

For additional information about the RestrictAnonymous registry value, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

246261 How to Use the RestrictAnonymous Registry Value in Windows 2000

To view this registry value, follow these steps.

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.

Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
Navigate to the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
In the right pane of the Registry Editor window, note the setting of the restrictanonymous value.
Quit Registry Editor.

This behavior occurs because when you turn on (enable) the RestrictAnonymous registry value, this causes Exchange Server to reject access attempts to the global address list if the user's security token contains the Everyone security ID (SID).

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
