SYMPTOMS
When the Guest can use this volume check box is selected, if you use a guest account to log on, you may not be able to use shares that are created for Macintosh users.



CAUSE
This problem can occur because the Guest can use this volume check box may be automatically selected if you log on using a true guest account that has limited privileges instead of an Anonymous guest account. Even if this check box is selected, only security settings are applied.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
If you log on using a guest account that has limited privileges, you cannot run the macfile volume command line successfully. In Windows 2000, you can use the macfile volume command line to explicitly set the folder permissions to either &quot;Allow Guest&quot; or &quot;Not to Allow Guest&quot;, for example:
 * macfile volume /add /name:SFM_TESTNoGuest /guestsallowed:false /path:d:\SFM_TESTNoGuest
 * macfile volume /add /name:SFM_TESTGuest1 /guestsallowed:true /path:d:\SFM_TEST 

After you upgrade to Windows Server 2003, you may not be able to run scripts that include the preceding commands successfully.
