    Take care if you use this to lock down the security on a server. I ran this on an Exchange frontend server and let it make the recommended changes and it broke http and https access.

    Thankfully via Google I found out what it did and fixed it.

    On a workstation it should be Ok other than i bet it turns UAC back on etc
