usually this is because of a trust relationship that this server has with another.. Although the account is disabled, another server in a trust may have the guest account enabled. Have your admin guy search for 1 way and 2 way trust on that system.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of a g Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 11:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Open Shares - Guest Account Appreciate you help in advance. Nessus is reporting a list of shares on a Windows server available to a guest account. Howerver, the guest account has been renamed and disabled before the scan. I tried to map to the share using guest \ password. It either responds not able to find the share, or the guest account is locked. There are shares on the server - but guest is not given access to them. How can this be tested and how is nessus getting the list of shares. The system admin believes this as a false positive - but nessus can list the shares. Any explaination appreciated. Thanks again.
