Using group policy with guest account James Collington <james[ at ]savoycinemas.co.uk> 11.07.2007 09:35:29 Could anyone advise why I am experiencing problems running a group policy (custom user interface) with a user logged in to a workstation under the domain guest account? Thanks.

Thanks. Security, most likely. The Guest account probably doesn't have any access to the GPO, since it's not included in any of the normal groups (it's only in the Guests group, which has no access to anything by default). -- Steve Foster [SBS MVP] --------------------------------------- MVPs do not work for Microsoft.

What I want to do is enable secure passwords but have one account without password, which I why I used guest account. Is there a group policy group to which guest can be added so that it does follow group policy?, or can I enforce strong passwords but create a nother user for which no passowrd is required? Thanks.
