SYMPTOMS
Migrated environments that rely on security identifier (SID) history in security descriptors, and that are running software applications that are implementing the Microsoft Windows API GetEffectiveRightsFromAcl function, may return with error message 1355. The specified domain either does not exist or can not be contacted.



CAUSE
The problem occurs because this API did not support environments that use SID history. Changes were made to the API to support environments that use SID history.

WORKAROUND
You can change the trustee Information in the access control entry (ACE), which is included in the security descriptor on the resource. The current trustee information contains the SID of the trustee from the migrated domain. Use the access control list editor to remove the trustee from the security descriptor, save the information, and then add the same trustee back to the resource by using the migrated account in the current domain. This will change the SID in the trustee information to the SID of the current domain.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
