Sure. As Jonathan pointed out, you can install URLScan separately from the
IIS Lockdown Tool. As for the lockdown features provided by the tool
itself, it doesn't do anything that you can't manually do on your own. For
example, you can easily remove well-known virtual directories (iishelp,
scripts, msadc, etc.) from IIS using the Internet Services Manager. And you
can manually map "dangerous" file extensions (.idq, .htr, .shtml, etc.) to
404.dll by extracting 404.dll from the IIS Lockdown package -- see
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=315522 for more information on how to do
this.

The following article explains the various configuration options available
in the IIS Lockdown Tool, which might help you determine which options you
want to set manually:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=325864

Is there a particular reason why you want the functionality of the Lockdown
Tool without having to install it? If you're having problems after
installing it, reviewing the available options in the above KB article
might help you figure out which ones you should enable so that you don't
disrupt the functionality of the server.

Hope this helps,
Lisa
