SYMPTOMS
When you reconnect to a file server that already has one share mounted on the desktop, you see information that informs you that you are connected to the file server, and informs you of how you are connected. The Microsoft User Authentication Module (UAM) incorrectly reports guests (users who logged on by using the Guest option as registered users. The Guest option is unavailable, and the Registered User option is selected.



WORKAROUND
To reconnect to the file server and mount a new share as Guest, drag the currently mounted share to the Trash, and then start the process over so that you can connect as Guest.



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