Recommended Registry Hardening - registry keys are not pre..

I am trying to follow the steps in Microsoft's "From Blueprint to Fortress: A
Guide to securing IIS 5.0" under "Registry Hardening". It states to edit the
following registry keys or values:

Topic: SYN Flood Attack Protection
Key: HKLM\System\CurrentControlsSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters
Value: Value type
Problem: No such value - should I add it?

Topic: Disable Internet Printing
Key: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\DisableWebPrinting
Value: DisableWebPrinting
Problem: There is no Windows NT key. There is a Windows key, but no Printer
key under it??

Removing Administrative Shares
Key: HKLM\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters
Value: AutoShareServer
Problem: No such value. Should it be added? Instructions say to edit
it....??

W2K SP4, IIS 5.0.

Thanks for any clearification.
