Wrong user from access log

L2 Linker

Hello!

 

The local user Administrator is logged in on the desktop and he is not allowed to access the internet. But he can access.

When checking in Monitor on PA220, I noticed that another user appears in the Source User column and not the Administrator user.

Has anyone ever experienced this?

 

Software version 8.0.10 

 

Thank you!

@Mick_Ball,

Hacky work around, but it would sure work! 

@BPry,

 

So, I have to think how to get rid of local account like administrator account.

 

Thank you.

 

 

not get rid of it....     just dont give the password out!

 

who is using the local admin account and why do they need to use the local admin account?

@Mick_Ball,

 

The support team you use the local administrator account to do local maintenance.

 

 

Thank you.

 

 

@BethSouza,

Ya that's not really required at all if your environment is setup to current enterprise standards. For example each of our machines have a local admin account, but the password is controlled by LAPS and nobody logs into the account for anything. Administration of the machine is done through an AD account granted admin rights to all domain-joined computers. There really isn't any need to do this with a local account, and it deffinetly doesn't follow best-practice for Windows administration. 

@BPry,

 

I agree 100%. 

 

We are reviewing the management practices and this will be one that we will adopt.

 

Thank you.
