For more information:

http://msmvps.com/blogs/erikr/archive/2008/06/28/access-based-enumeration-abe.aspx

Remark:

The Access Based Enumeration is filters shared folders visible to a user based on that individual user's access rights, preventing the display of folders or other shared resources that the user does not have rights to access. ABE can be accessed via graphical user interface (GUI), command-line executable tool, and a robust advanced programming interface (API).

It start from Windows Server 2003 SP1 support this feature.

Linux/Unix join Windows Domain

There are several ways to make Linux/Unix to join Windows Domain:

Kerberos only
LDAP only
Kerberos plus LDAP - This is a lower-level option where you set up Linux to use Active Directory's underlying protocols yourself. Described in Kerberos (for authentication) and LDAP (for authorization).
Samba (Winbind/Kerberos) - Samba is the tool for joining a Linux machine to a Windows domain.
Likewise - Likewise is basically Samba-in-a-box; easier to set up than a full-fledged Samba installation (the GUI should do it for you in under an hour, including time to read its docs), but correspondingly less control. Likewise Open is free of charge; Likewise Enterprise adds features like managing Linux machines via Group Policy.
Microsoft Windows Services for Unix includes options for serving usernames to Linux / UNIX via NIS and for synchronizing passwords to Linux / UNIX machines. You'd use this if you wanted to do everything possible from Windows or if you had an existing Linux / UNIX infrastructure you wanted to tie to Windows; for most environments, though, one of the other solutions would be better.

ARP Ping Tool Description - Last Review: August 12, 2009

The ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) Ping tool uses ARP packets to 'ping' an IPv4 device on your LAN (subnet or network segment) and looks for ARP responses from the device. IPv4 devices must respond to ARP packets even if the device uses firewalls or other stealthy methods to hide from ICMP or UDP based ping tools. NetScanTools Pro also includes a Ping Tool and a Ping Sweep Scanner capable of pinging a range of IP addresses using ICMP packets.

If you are looking for a way of finding all active IPv4 devices in a local network segment even if they are using device level firewalls (or personal firewalls), please see the ARP tool and look at the ARP scan function.
