TS Agent no port mapping when using windows net use

L1 Bithead

Hey Guys

We have noticed a weird behaviour:

When I do a telnet to IP 1.1.1.1 Port 445 on our Terminal Server with the TS Agent installed, the associated Port Range will be used as expected and the source user-id will be mapped.

But when we do a net use in the same CMD window, it won't associate it with the expected port range but with a higher, not related to the users one and won't map the user-id. Both connections are Port 445 (checked in the logs).

 

I found this article online regarding that system context actions can't be mapped:

Anyone has/had the same issue? Can it be  that net use is running in system context and can't be tracked?

Thanks and best regards

That's already the reason why the TS Agent is not able to determine the source user for SMB traffic
