Please log in for more thread options Hi Roger,
Thanks for the reply.
This setting: "Network Access: Allow anonymous SID/Name translation" is
newly added in Windows XP and Windows 2003 and as you rightly said
there is no public interface, function available to access this
setting.
I tried using sceregvl.inf file and other options you specified, but it
did not work for me.
Is there any other workaround or other way to get this setting? If
not, I'm curious to know how Microsoft reads\writes this information.
I've workaround and I'm trying to verify this. Please see if it makes
sense to you.
- Since this setting is related to "Anonymous SID/Name translation", I
(in the code) impersonate caller anonymously and execute
"LookpAccountSid" on target machine with NTAuthorityLocalSystem SID
("S-1-5-18") and see if this API works or fails.
If API work --> means the resgistry setting is "Enabled"
If API fails --> means the registry setting is "Disabled"
I did get the expected result on Windows2003 but not on Windows XP. I'm
trying to find the reason. Lets see.
Please let me know if you know any solution for this.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Rupesh
