Hi, I'm seeing several Audit failures with the event information below. System is Window Server 2008 R2 in vitrual environment. Basically the event states that the Guest account tried to access Windows explorer and the user account is disabled. The system is in test at the moment and I'm the only one accessing the machine. The guest account is disabled but I'm tring to figure out why the login attempts?
