SID Filtering – Access is denied

I recently came across an "Access is denied" issue when I was trying to disable the SID filtering in Windows 2008 side.

Anyway, this is what I did to resolve the issue:

I have enabled the "Network access: Allow anonymous SID/Name translation" GPO settings in "Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options".

I have performed this action only in my Windows 2008 Domain.

Also, please read the following articles and make sure you understand policy details before enabling it.

Hi!
You wrote "on your 2008 side". Do you mean target or source domain?
Thanks for your work.
