Hello @kristian bacalso ,

Please check in the windows registry for LanManWorkstation in:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters]

And change the key "AllowInsecureGuestAuth" to 1

The other option is through GPO, if you need to expand the change to multiple machines:
GPO path: Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Network>Lanmanworkstation> Enable insecure guest logons = Enabled

Hope this resolves your issue,
Best regards,

If this is enabled this poses a security risk, what other options are available to allow this but keep the security threat of Man in the middle attacks at bay? The only option I have found is add users to localadmin account which again is not great. The Printers we are trying to share are USB shared via UNC paths..
