# Network access: Allow anonymous SID/Name translation
|
||||
|
||||
**Applies to**
|
||||
- Windows 10
|
||||
|
||||
Describes the best practices, location, values, policy management and security considerations for the **Network access: Allow anonymous SID/Name translation** security policy setting.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reference
|
||||
|
||||
This policy setting enables or disables the ability of an anonymous user to request security identifier (SID) attributes for another user.
|
||||
|
||||
If this policy setting is enabled, a user might use the well-known Administrators SID to get the real name of the built-in Administrator account, even if the account has been renamed. That person might then use the account name to initiate a brute-force password-guessing attack.
|
||||
|
||||
Misuse of this policy setting is a common error that can cause data loss or problems with data access or security.
|
||||
|
||||
### Possible values
|
||||
|
||||
- Enabled
|
||||
|
||||
An anonymous user can request the SID attribute for another user. An anonymous 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. This setting affects the SID-to-name translation as well as the name-to-SID translation
|
||||
|
||||
- Disabled
|
||||
|
||||
Prevents an anonymous user from requesting the SID attribute for another user.
|
||||
|
||||
- Not defined
|
||||
|
||||
### Best practices
|
||||
|
||||
- Set this policy to Disabled. This is the default value on member computers; therefore, it will have no impact on them. The default value for domain controllers is Enabled.
|
||||
|
||||

### Default values
|
||||
|
||||
The following table lists the actual and effective default values for this policy. Default values are also listed on the policy’s property page.

|

<td align="left"><p>Disabled</p></td>
|
||||

|

|

</table>
|
||||
|
||||
| Server type or GPO | Default value |
|
||||
| - | - |
|
||||
| Default Domain Policy| Not defined|
|
||||
| Default Domain Controller Policy | Note defined|
|
||||
| Stand-Alone Server Default Settings | Disabled|
|
||||
| DC Effective Default Settings | Enabled|
|
||||
| Member Server Effective Default Settings| Disabled|
|
||||
| Client Computer Effective Default Settings | Disabled|
|
||||
|
||||
### Operating system version differences
|
||||
|
||||
The default value of this setting has changed between operating systems as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
- The default on domain controllers running Windows Server 2003 R2 or earlier was set to Enabled.
|
||||
- The default on domain controllers running Windows Server 2008 and later is set to Disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Policy management
|
||||
|
||||
This section describes features and tools that are available to help you manage this policy.
|
||||
|
||||
### Restart requirement
|
||||
|
||||
None. Changes to this policy become effective without a device restart when they are saved locally or distributed through Group Policy.
|
||||
|
||||
### Group Policy
|
||||
|
||||
Modifying this setting may affect compatibility with client computers, services, and applications.
|
||||
|
||||
## Security considerations
|
||||
|
||||
This section describes how an attacker might exploit a feature or its configuration, how to implement the countermeasure, and the possible negative consequences of countermeasure implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Vulnerability
|
||||
|
||||
If this policy setting is enabled, a user with local access could use the well-known Administrator's SID to learn the real name of the built-in Administrator account, even if it has been renamed. That person could then use the account name to initiate a password-guessing attack.
|
||||
|
||||
### Countermeasure
|
||||
|
||||
Disable the **Network access: Allow anonymous SID/Name translation** setting.
|
||||
|
||||
### Potential impact
|
||||
|
||||
Disabled is the default configuration for this policy setting on member devices; therefore, it has no impact on them. The default configuration for domain controllers is Enabled.
