Do you have a user called "guest" in your LDAP directory? If so you will need to exclude it from the sync because "guest" is one of the few reserved names in alfresco.

You can't sync "Guest", "Admin" or "EVERYONE".

Active Directory create by default a guest user in the users directry. to exluded "guest" user from synchronization, I added these line into my ldap-ad-authentication.properties (mentioned in my first comment)
NB: I created a reserved Unit Organization for my users and this is my config to do synchronization only with my users

# The group search base restricts the LDAP group query to a sub section of tree on the LDAP server.
ldap.synchronization.groupSearchBase=OU\=EPR,DC\=epr, DC\=lan

# The user search base restricts the LDAP user query to a sub section of tree on the LDAP server.
ldap.synchronization.userSearchBase=OU\=EPR,DC\=epr,DC\=lan
