After implementing the restrictions in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base articles, remote access to the registry is still allowed:

153183 - How to restrict access to the registry from a remote computer.

143474 - Restricting information available to anonymous logon users.

This behavior is indicative of having the RestrictNullSessAccess Value Name, a REG_DWORD data type, set to 0 at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesLanmanServerParameters.

To workaround this behavior, set the data value of RestrictNullSessAccess to 1.
