Enabling the Guest Account
By default, the guest account is disabled. For workgroups that have Windows 95 and

A local group account is an account that exists on the MaxAttach NAS 6000 itself and
grants groups access to its resources. The MaxAttach NAS 6000 can also be configured to
grant access to domain groups. Domain groups are those that exist in a Microsoft Windows
NT® 4 or Microsoft Active Directory™ domain. You can add local users, domain users,

a group that has been assigned to the administrator group on the local computer has
administrative privileges for that computer. For example, you could assign the TeamLeads
