Re: Nessus ID: 10907

I'm presuming this is a windows environment based on your reference to a 
PDC.  You'll want to go into the GUI User Manager /ADUC depending on your 
version of Windows, and look at the properties of the Guest account.  It 
sounds like it has some group memberships you want to remove.  These are 
typically listed on the "Member Of" tab.  The directions vary slightly for 
NT4 or older, and Win2k+ (and some folks still use PDC term with Win2k+, 
so not sure which you have....)

Hope that helps,

Nessus ID: 10907






Hello,

We are getting Nessus ID: 10907 on our scan report to the PDC. The 
heading is "Guest belongs to a group" with synopsis of "The Guest 
account has excessive privileges".  It also say that the Guest account 
belongs to a group on the description.

I want to remove the Guest account to any group it belongs but having 
trouble on how to do so.  Can someone please point me to the right 
direction?  The nobody account is disable, and that should disable the 
Guest account as well if I am not mistaken.

Any help is appreciated.

-Ivan
