Allow NTLM to fall back to NULL session when used with LocalSystem.
The default is TRUE up to Windows Vista and FALSE in Windows 7.
Counter Measure:
Configure Network security: Allow LocalSystem NULL session fallback to Disabled.
Potential Impact:
Any applications that require NULL sessions for LocalSystem will not work as designed.
Fix:

(2) REG: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0!allownullsessionfallback
