Could anyone advise why I am experiencing problems running a group
policy (custom user interface) with a user logged in to a workstation
under the domain guest account? Thanks.

Don't use the Guest account, create one for them.

Thanks for both replies. What I want to do is enable secure passwords
but have one account without password, which I why I used guest
account. Is there a group policy group to which guest can be added so
that it does follow group policy?, or can I enforce strong passwords
but create a nother user for which no passowrd is required? Thanks.
