When linking with 8.0 beta I find these symbols are unresolved:
AllocateAndInitializeSid
FreeSid
In 7.1 they were in PlatformSDK\Lib\AdvAPI32.lib.
8.0 has a library of that name, but apparently no such function definitions
In both 7.1 and 8.0, there are declarations for them in PlatformSDK\include\winbase.h.
Is there a workaround / fix I need them.

AllocateAndInitializeSid: unresolved external symbols (PlatformSDK)

You're right -- dumpbin finds them.
My bad -- I needed to add AdvAPI32.lib to the 'Linker/Input/Additional Dependencies' property field.
That wasn't necessary in my MSVC++7.1 builds, for some reason, which confused me. I'm still unclear why it suddenly is, in 8.0, as my source code dependencies on winbase.h have not changed.
Thanks again for your prompt response.

They are in my copy of the library.
Can you try
dumpbin /all AdvAPI32.lib > AdvAPI32.txt
and then search the text file for the 2 functions names, they are in my copy of the lib.
