[RESOLVED] Admin account created on hosts

Published: July 5, 2024 - 10:12 AM

Hello,

The context:
Access to the console is via an LDAP admin group, so each admin has an account like admin_admin1.
I've noticed that on client PCs, I find these users in c:\users\admin_admin1.
Is this normal WAPT behavior, or should we use a generic account to avoid cluttering the PCs?

WAPT 2.5.5.15640 Enterprise

Can you elaborate on that?

I don't understand what this is; it's a folder, what's in it? Is it on all client workstations?

Hi Benoit,

if you're escalating privileges to launch the console with an admin account to enable Kerberos authentication, it's normal for there to be a local directory for that account on the admin's machine. Windows treats privilege escalation as a login (with the user directory and all that).

However, this shouldn't create accounts on every machine in the network.

Regards,

Denis

Ultimately, WAPT wasn't the problem (another deployment in the same week --')

Otherwise, I have a real question,
My users have reported that PC shutdown has been slow since the installation of the Wapt agent
I have logs

Is waptexit visible in this case?

No, that's not the case, but these errors slow down the PC shutdown; in some logs, it takes more than 3 minutes.
I'm on the latest release of the WAPT agent and server.

Hello Benoit,

thank you for keeping each forum topic separate. I'm closing this one; please open a new one for this second topic.
