These steps will only work for a standalone servers. Any serveres that are in a cluster state such as Active Directory, SQL failover cluster, Network Load Balancing [NLB] or Windows Replication service that NEVER-EVER follow these steps as it will simply diable port 135 which is used my Distributed File System [DFS] for the servers to comunicate with each other. Disabling it will just wont allow the servers to communicate and the services will fail.
