[QUOTE][u]Quote by: MikeE[/u][p]One thing that I forgot to mention is that our managed clients were cloned from a master image and Lion’s recovery partition is not there. I have come across articles — google “lion guest account disabled” — that lead me to believe that the recovery partition, FileVault 2, and guest accounts are closely tied together in Lion. Again, not sure if this is the way to go but it’s something.[/p][/QUOTE]

Intersting but from my reading that seems to say guest is incompatible with FireVault 2 but beyond that not related. I’m not using FileVault where I’m using Guest anyway.

I’ve done it both on machines with and without the Lion rescue partition so I don’t think that’s related or at least directly – not to mention Snow has the same problem in my testing.

not sure but saw this – http:// groups .google. com/group/macenterprise/browse_thread/thread/b7881c35c68a7705 – which says the OD created guest account is named guest1 vs guest.

Found another one looking – so far no answers elsewhere – https:// discussions. apple. com/thread/3303142?tstart=733

btw my setup is Lion Server with Lion clients though I’ll also be doing this with Snow Leopard Clients.

I see this problem – as does another: http:// groups. google. com/group/macenterprise/browse_thread/thread/43195a45aa7d8077/dcd30b02c10977ae?show_docid=dcd30b02c10977ae

Any success?
