Guest problem

[Scott Masters]

I having problems getting the guest account to work correctly. Other
computers are not able to connect to my target machine's shared folder. I've
added the guest account and enabled it. I've enabled forceguest and set the
allow blank passwords registry setting. I've seen reference to a security
policy for "Deny Access to this computer from Network". In the post I read
someone said that they had to remove the guest account from this list. I'm
trying to keep my image size minimal and I don't want to have to add the
local policy editor files just to change this one setting. Is there anyway I
can do this through the registry? I'm using a custom shell but I've got
access to the command prompt and regedit.

Thanks,
-Scott

Scott,

It is not a "regular" registry value for that security policy. It is
actually a priviledge right (SeDenyNetworkLogonRight) stored under Security
key, under [HKLM\SECURITY\Policy\Accounts\%SID%\Privilgs\@]. It is a hex
value.

Btw, you will also need to add "Allow this computer from the network' policy
to Everyone gruop.

Sorry, I meant "Access this computer from the network'" here.
