I am trying to lock down security on my server 2003 running IIS 6.0 and SQL 2005. The recommendation is to restrict anonymous access to the registry. If I change this setting will there be any impact on my IIS 6.0 web site, SQL 2005 databases or the Server 2003 OS. I hate to make registry changes since I am not sure if something may stop or cause a problem for me administering this.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
CurrentCon
trolSet\Co
ntrol\Lsa
restrictanonymoussam is set to 0
restrictanonymous is set to 0
currently set to '0' would have to change to '1' to restrict the access according to what i have read.
