XP SP2 RC1 issues

After playing with XP SP2 RC1 for a while I still have a few things which bother me.
I had a look at group policies typing gpedit.msc in the Run command.

I found following issues:

RPC policies are still undefined ie it still allows unauthenticated anonymous users to log in ... with the bad practices around I doubt it will be switched on

Automatic updates are not enabled -> users will be able to switch then off too easily

Anyone can push the right buttons to get these sorted?
