[QUOTE="cazabam, post: 272966, member: 17895"] It might not be trying to guess a name at all. Windows network servers can be configured to map 'anonymous' attempts to a specific local user. If the mac is just using Bonjour (a.k.a. Rendezvous) to scout out shares, the domain controller may just be mapping the anonymous browse attempt as a 'guest' login attempt and log that. Put simply - it's most likely the admin throwing a wobbler because he doesn't precisely understand what's going on. [/QUOTE]
