Do they belong to Builtin "Users" group?

Re: what are the differences between anonymous and guest?

 

To begin, Anonymous Logon is an example of well-known security principal

assigned automatically to null sessions - which you cannot configure using

standard account management methods (e.g. enable/disable, modify group

membership, etc.)

Guest, on the other hand, is an account (disabled by default) that is

configurable in the same manner as any "standard" user account...

In addition, while both Guest and Anonymous were included in Everyone group

in Windows 2000-based AD, that's not the case in Windows Server 2003/XP SP2

(with Anonymous falling out of its scope)

In Windows Server 2003, Guest is also no longer a member of Authenticated

Users (which is included in domain Users)...

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
