It's a "weak" security enhancement, but it can potentially enhance security.
Much like renaming the Administrator account, it can make attacks more
difficult without preventing those attacks.
Again, given the typical amount of time spent on average securing NT/IIS
servers, I'd try to push people into doing the easy things before doing the
harder ones.
