netbios shares and smb shares

[Guest]

I administrate a 2000 server whose main purpose is to run SQL 7.0.
We recently had a vulnerability scan performed on this server and two
vulnerabilites were presented and I am tasked with fixing them.
The first one states:

NetBIOS shares - null session: Shares are present and enumerated with null
session. Resolution - remove null shares.

How do I accomplish this?


The second one states:

A Server Message Block (SMB) share has been detected.
Resolution - Remove share if it is not required.

How do I accomplish this and how do I know if it is not required?

Thanks.

I'm not sure about the second, SMB, query but...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters

has a list of shares using NULL Sessions in the paramter..

"NullSessionShares"
