MID Server's Use of the Guest User Account

Our platform is "on-prem" and we are on the Washington, Patch-5 release. 

 

My ISSO is seeing numerous 401 errors related to the MID Server's use of the Guest user.  Since each of our MID servers are using a user account, and are communicating to the ECC via AMB, why would a MID server use the Guest Account?  What scenarios would cause the MID servers to use a Guest User account?

 

I am also showing the Guest user account to be intentionally locked-out in our user table.  Is this locked "Guest User" account the same one that the MID servers are using?  Or is there another "behind-the-scenes" and "under-the-hood" Guest User account being used by the MID servers?

 

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and insight.
