Recently we have done a security Audit,

As per their recommendation we need to change RestricAnonymous Registry
settings to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\control\LSA set to 1,
to prevent access to systems null credentials

Currently it is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\control\LSA set to 0

What will be the impact if we changed to 1, any application will have
issues ?(IIS,Exchnage,OWA,etc...),

Please help......
