Gordon, IMHO I don't think anything should be guarded.  Let me explain...

Many clients still have DOS/Win3x computers running a single specific 
application.  Accpac, POS, building security, PLC devices, etcetera.  
These computers can network to a workgroup server but can not join a 
domain.  So some people may wish to keep the Mitel server as a workgroup 
server.  Yet even as a workgroup server you can still utilize the 
netlogon, profile and any other hidden or browseable share.  In workgroup 
mode, you simply have to do this manually at the client.  Of course samba 
must have these shares enabled so to guard/disable these in workgroup 
mode makes this connectivity impossible.

Anyone else remember 'MSDOS for Workgroups'?
