[QUOTE="walmartconnect, post: 272893, member: 21669"] I was running Parallels with WindowsXP earlier, but I have since uninstalled it (although I guess it wasn't completely uninstalled). I checked on the Active Directory service, it wasn't even checked. Inside there is nothing regarding our domain here at Ferrum. The information you've supplied on lookupd is very interesting. I'm still suspicious though. It's one thing if the computer requests information about others on the network, it's another if it finds the ferrum.edu domain, decides to pick an account name "guest" with no password, and then attempts to join. Doesn't that strike you as a little to "reachy outty"? I'm also perplexed since one other Mac on campus (a school owned mac being used in the Public Relations Department) seems to have done the same thing at a very close time to this event. I know that there are other macs on campus (both school and student owned), this is really weird and disappointing because it's just adding fuel to the anti-mac fire. [/QUOTE]
