Do this 

1. Go to Administrative Tools --> Local Security 
Policy --> Local Policies --> Security Options. 
Make sure the following two policies are enabled:

a. Network Access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts: Enabled (Default)

b.Network Access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares: Enabled

Or this can also be accomplished using the following registry keys:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\RestrictAnonymous=1 (This disallows enumeration of shares)
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\RestrictAnonymousSAM=1 (Default, not allowing enumeration of user 
accounts)

and then Reboot to make the changes take effect.
