How is Vista Guest Account Enabled Still
Hi,
I used the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer a few days ago and it determined my Guest account is active. I thought how could that be if the UAC says Guest Account is Off. I checked my Event Logs and sure enough the MBSA was correct.
Someone is logging into my computer using the Guest account. See below:
An account was successfully logged on.

Account Domain Susan

Logon Type 3
New Logon:

Account Name Guest
Account Domain Susan
Logon ID 0x305ce3
Logon GUID {0000000000-0000-0000-000000000000}
Process Information
Process ID 0xc5c
Process Name C:\windows\explorer.exe
Detalied Authentication Information
Logon Process Advapi
Authentication Pkg Negotiate
Key Length 0
What can I do about this. Thanks. JC

Magon Liu,
Thanks for your reply but the link provided goes to Page not found. Please understand, I know how to use the UAC and disable the Guest account and it does indicate that the Guest account is off. If you will, please answer the original question.
What can I do to prevent access, deny use of the Guest account if the feature under the UAC does not work? It says Guest account is off.
As I mentioned before, the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer indicated the Guest account is active and in use and I'd like for someone to tell me how to shut it down since I can't delete the account without your assistance. Thanks. JC
