lets you eliminate a security vulnerability in Windows NT 4.0, which under certain conditions could be used to cause your computer to fail.
Before a request to access the Registry from a remote machine can be processed, it must first be authenticated by the remote Registry server. If the request is malformed in a specific fashion, it could be misinterpreted by the remote Registry server, causing it to fail.
Because the remote Registry server is contained within the WINLOGON.EXE system process on Windows NT 4.0, a failure in that process would cause the entire system to fail.
Only an authenticated user could levy such a request; an anonymous (or null-session) connection could not cause this failure.
An affected machine could be put back into service after it is rebooted.
