Eliminating the server process (file and print sharing, or its successor, the server service), makes the client unmanageable. SMS, and most other such utilities, become useless. This hurts security more than it helps.

You can disable the file and print sharing via the TCP/IP control panel and leave the server service running. You still have the benefit of administrative shares without the hassle of users bypassing network security.
