PS script causing Failed guest logon
Hello,
We have a ps1 script to audit AD-Group-Members which runs on a weekly basis.
This queries all the AD users and Groups they are a part of and exports it in a Excel file. This runs on our Domain Controller.
On 2nd September, we noticed that during the time, the script was running, there was 956 sign-in attempts on our DC.
The script for Get-ADGroupMembership ran on 4:38PM and completed csv was created at 4:46PM.
Login events started 9/2/2018 4:38:22 PM and continued till 9/2/2018 4:46:29 PM
This is what i see in the Event Viewer (screenshot added)
