Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares

Hi guys,
What will happen if I enable "Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration on SAM accounts and shares" ?
Does the users (everyone) would not be able to list all shared folders on that computer?
What is the impact of this one?
Been searching for the effect of this but I cannot find precise answer.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi whitesql,
It’s difficult to talk about when a policy disable effect if we know how it works right? You can refer the following KB to realize the enumeration mainly work for first:
The effects of removing null sessions from the Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows NT environment

The type initializer for 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection' threw an exception. InnerException: Requested registry access is not allowed.

I have read some of the other posts for people that got this error, but none seem to apply to me.
My program has been working for weeks. I made some minor changes, and started getting the error (full details below).
I did a TFS "undo pending changes" and still getting the same error, even after logging off. The one odd thing is that I did change my Windows password this week. The connection string is using a SQL user id and password that has no issues.
I'm an Admin own my own box (running WIn XP SP3). I even tried "Run as Admin" on Visual Studio.
I'm doing a Debug-Start, running a Console-Test-Program that calls a WCF service, which on local machine is hosted by "ASP.NET Development Server".
We have two other developers, one has the same problem, one does not. In theory, we have all done "get latest" and are running the same code.
The SQL Connection is related to a trace database; we are using this library http://ukadcdiagnostics.codeplex.com which has worked fine for months.
When I do "Start Run" in Visual Studio, I get this error:
{"The type initializer for 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection' threw an exception. "}
with InnerException: {"The type initializer for 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionFactory' threw an exception."}
and it has InnerException: {"Requested registry access is not allowed. "}

I think I found it... this is sure a strange error for what is really happening.
Apparently it had happened to me before, and fortuantely, I actually added the following comment:
            // Above is related to the WCFLOG SQL Diagnostics Trace
            // If you get error here an inner exception "requested registry access is not allowed"
            // inside exception "type initializer for System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection"
            // then make sure you have impersonation enabled in your client.
            // See AdminConsole web.config or FRB.EC.AdminService.ConsoleTester.app.config for examples
Now I think I will do a try catch and spit out the same text.
Still testing to assure that this really was the issue.
      <endpointBehaviors>
        <behavior name="FRB.AllowImpersonate ">
          <clientCredentials>
            <windows allowedImpersonationLevel="Impersonation"/>
          </clientCredentials>
        </behavior>
      </endpointBehaviors>
The line below in BOLD below is what somehow seemed to disappear from my app.config - probably due to a TFS human error - still checking that also:
        <client>
              <endpoint address="http://localhost:4998/AdminService.svc"

                          bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IAdminService"

                    </identity>
              </endpoint>
        </client>
Here's how I "idiot-proofed" this error for now, to give an error that actually at least points to a solution:
        public SqlDataAccessCommand(string connectionString, string commandText, CommandType commandType)
            try
                _connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
                // Above is related to the WCFLOG SQL Diagnostics Trace
                // If you get error here an inner exception "requested registry access is not allowed"
                // inside exception "type initializer for System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection"
                // then make sure you have impersonation enabled in your client.
                // See AdminConsole web.config or FRB.EC.AdminService.ConsoleTester.app.config for examples
            catch (Exception ex)
                if (ex.ToString().Contains("The type initializer for"))
                throw new System.ApplicationException(@"

Now i am not able to read reports or cant access all database options in sharepoint,it says
registry access is not allowed
I tried to reset encryption key and allowed all access to registry keys buts its giving same error .
Please suggest me what should i do now, i stuck here...

Hi Bhagyashri,
From your description, there have two questions in the environment:
"Requested registry access is not allowed" while access SharePoint sites
and "The report server cannot decrypt the symmetric key that is used to access sensitive or encrypted data in a report server database" while viewing reports
For the first issue, the cause is the SharePoint web service account can't access some registry keys.
For the second issue, the cause is that the report database was restored from another server, and the encryption key was not restored correctly.
To fix the issue, please:
Follow "solutions" in this article
http://blogs.technet.com/b/spsforum/archive/2011/11/02/quick-solution-5-requested-registry-access-is-not-allowed.aspx to fix "Requested registry access is not allowed"
Restore the encryption key again, or please delete the key and then reset every credential setting in SSRS data source connection
Thanks,

Any ideas????

I found a similar problem and the instructions said to check a permission box in the "Get Info" tab.
This applies only when the Library is on an external drive. You cannot ignore permissions on the system drive.
I was deleting files trying to make space on my hard drive
What were you deleting?
and noticed as I was deleting files more data was being added to the iPhoto Library.
Hard to see how deleting files can add data to the iPhoto Library. Can you explain why you thought this?
I would really like to keep these pictures.
Make a back up now.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Error at connect :Requested registry access is not allowed

I have a Windows service running as a domain admin connecting with Client 10.2.0.100.
My connection string look as follows :
user id=xxx;data source=xxx;password=xxx;Statement Cache Size=30;Min Pool size=0
This error (Requested registry access is not allowed) only occurs sometimes.
Maybe after the service has been idle for a while???
Thanks in advance,

Problem was caused by corrupted user profile. Removing current profile and reinstalling SCORCH solved.

Requested registry access is not allowed when opening Infopath Forms on Sharepoint 2013

Hello Technet Community.
I hope this will help anybody out there that experienced this problem after patching Sharepoint 2013.
I have a distributed 3-tier Sharepoint 2013 environment. All of a sudden, after the last round of patched released on 7-Jul-2014, opening Infopath forms would throw a "something went wrong" error.
Looking at the ULS logs, you would see the error "Requested registry access is not allowed.".
I have looked at tons of posts on different blogs, and all pointed out that you need to grant "read" permissions to the application pool user (in my case a service account in AD) to the registry key (and subkeys):
HLKM/Software/Office Server/15.0
That indeed works, but it is not the proper way to do it. You should grant "read" permissions to this local group:
WSS_WPG
And special permissions to this local group:
WSS_ADMIN_WPG
Here is a snapshot of the special permissions needed
By the way, the WSS_PWG local group contains the app pool service account.
I do not know why patching Sharepoint removed these permissions from the registry keys, but oh well...
Anyway, Sharepoint is now happy and Infopath forms work as expected.
Claudio

Check if your service account or infopath service account has access to server and specially registry

To solve the issue, please follow these steps:
Use the Process Monitor to monitor the registry, once you get the following ACCESS DENIED message(You can filter the result with “Result contains Access Denied”):
Date & Time:      <date time>
Event Class:        Registry
Operation: RegOpenKey
Result: ACCESS DENIED
Path:     HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\14.0
TID:        2020
Duration:             0.0000297
Desired Access:                Read
Open Registry Editor (Start > Run, type regedit)
Open key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\14.0(got from Process Monitor from step 1)
Assign the SharePoint Timer Service account the Read permission to this key
One can open registry using regedit command. In Registery editor go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\15\Secure\FarmAdmin
Check central administration app pool Identity have permission on FarmAdmin. Permission can be check on right clicking FarmAdmin --> Permissions.
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

The timer service encountered an exception checking for the upgrade mode registry key. Requested registry access is not allowed.

Once in a while i get the error
Event ID 6463
The timer service encountered an exception checking for the upgrade mode registry key. Requested registry access is not allowed.
This also happens when i restart the timer service.
I already cleared the SharePoint cache (xml's) but no success with that.
Environment is
SharePoint 2013 SP1 + CU Dec 2014

This is a brand new SP13 with SP1 installation after binaries installation i also installed Dec 2014 CU and then created the SP farm.
The Apppool/Timer account is member of WSS_ADMIN_WPG.
Issue can be reproduced with restarting SharePoint Timer Service.
Hereby the Process Monitor output. Hence i filtered it on NOT SUCCESS and Path contains the word UPGRADE

ECP not connecting with Edge Tranpost role ("Requested registry access is not allowed,". )

I installed and configured an Edge Transport server.
In ECP under servers if I click to access the Edge Transport server I get a warning message pop up that says "An error occurred while accessing the registry on the server "FQDN". The error that occurred is: "Requested registry access is
not allowed,".
If I answer "Okay" I get the standard info and am allowed to enter a product key which did save. Operation appears normal and mail-flow is functioning.
Any help is much obliged.

Hi,
Agree with Amit Tank, we can use ECP to manage Edge Transport server. However, Edge Transport does not come with a separate EAC or ECP component, and we can manage Edge Transport from the Exchange 2013 SP1 ECP which is CAS 2013 server.
Thanks,

After Feb 2015 CU viewing list items results in error : requested registry access is not allowed

Hello All,
We recently (Monday) updated our farm to the feb 2015 CU. Since then we have been getting calls in from users that cannot access list items. They receive a correlation error. Looking at the logs the correlation error points to a critical
error: "Requested registry access is not allowed"
Doing some googling, others have seen this error but it is usually associated with managed accounts.
Has anyone else encountered this issue/error? Have you found a solution?
Thanks for your help
environment: SharePoint 2013 enterprise : 6 farm servers : OWA : project server : SQL 2012 always on backend

This would be the service account running the Web Application failing to access the registry key(s). What you should do is set up
Process Monitor to look at Registry keys, and look for ACCESS DENIED.
One thing you could just try out would be to run:
Initialize-SPResourceSecurity
Also, do you mean the March 2015 CU?

You are not allowed to continue because your account does not have the proper privileges

I've been using PS since version 3. I currently run CS2 on Windows XP service pack 2. I've been using CS2 since it was first released. Now, all of a sudden, anytime I install or uninstall a program, whether it is related to Photoshop or not, when I start CS2 I get a window that says "You are not allowed to continue because your account does not have the proper privileges" and the program aborts. The first time this happened and after I had restarted CS2 for the 4th time it started normally. Since then it requires at least one restart (not reboot)after the error and then CS2 starts normally. Anyone have any idea of what is going on here? The first time it happened was right after I had installed a new HP AIO printer and I thought that may have had something to do with it. However, I have installed a couple of other programs and uninstalled another, none of them related in any way to CS2, and I get the error the next time I run CS2. I have found some posts about this but no answers, and most of the posts were related to Vista, not XP. I need help please.

there's a section in adobe.com (not adobeforums.com!) where after you log in (seperate log in from this site) you can go to "my account" and then "my registrations". you can manually add registrations there. that's how i've registered most of my adobe purchases.
ok. just ran through it:
go to http://www.adobe.com/ (make sure you have flash turned on)
click "Your Account" in the upper left corner.
log in with your adobe.com id, create one if you don't have one. this is SEPERATE from the id you log into this forum with!
click on "View Product Registrations"
click on "View Adobe branded products registrations"
if you have any registed packages, they'll be listed. at the bottom of the page click on the button that looks like this:

Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions. I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1. I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep it as my primary.

To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account. To do this, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
