I ran into this a while back, and setup a Group Policy in AD, to force LanmanWorkstation as the only value in this key.
Here's what I used... Save it as
whatever.adm, and add it to your
Administrative Templates, so all VM's in whatever OU you assign your GPO to can use it.
[code]
CLASS MACHINE ;This modifies the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE portion of the registry

END PART
END POLICY
END CATEGORY

; to the variable names specified in the previous section
[strings]
