Does anyone know if guest account must be enabled?

Hi a user is not able to run a windows application that uses SQL
authentication and was just wondering if the guest account have to be enabled
on the SQL Server for SQL authentication to work?
Thanks.

Only time I heard about that is if you are in separate domains and you don't have trusts and you are
using the Named Pipes netlib, which depends on the IPC$ share). I don't know if this is still the
case, but in any case moving to the IP netlib should remove that need.

Or if you refer to a Gust Windows account, if so, see my reply.
