Thanks, good to know.

If you're not admin, why do you have to enumerate accounts?  This
is usually not an action required by standard applications.

Because enumerating local group means to enumerate the entire AD
group list on DCs, which is not feasible in some scenarios.  And
there is a way to configure this by changing /etc/nsswitch.conf.
If you need this on machines you're not admin of, why not just
ask the admin to enable this?
