We have been running this way for several years and have not had any
issues that I can remember.

Subject: Enterprise fallout from RestrictAnonymous

Does anyone have experience with an enterprise-wide reset of the
RestrictAnonymous registry value from 0 to 1? This would include NT,
200 and 2003 servers - I'm wondering if there are any gotcha's we
should be aware of in real-world deployment of such a change. Because
we have a mixed environment, I don't believe we can safely set
RestrictAnonymous to 2 without breaking a lot of downstream servers.

MS has this helpful article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/890161/?sd=RMVP&fr=1#XSLTH31651211231201
21120120

which also makes me wonder if setting the value to 1 is of any use -
won't any auditor worth their salt use the tools that can still
enumerate accounts unless the value is set to 2?

Thanks
