Discovering WSS_ADMIN_WPG

[David Jenkins]

I'm new to using Password State.  I've setup a Discovery that is limited to one system at the moment.  I'm looking to reset local Admin accounts. 

 

After discovery runs it finds the Administrator account and WSS_ADMIN_WPG which to my knowledge is a group.  I look on the system and there is no user, but there is a group with that name.

 

Why is discovery finding this?  Should it be?

Hi David,

I had to Google this myself, and I think that is a SharePoint account, and not a group - https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/f3b92710-b5c4-4f07-8848-940c085a3ab3/difference-between-administrator-and-wssadminwpg?forum=sharepointadmin

The system I'm scanning is a SharePoint server.  As mentioned though I don't have a user account local to the system by this name.  Just a group.  I can't reset passwords on a group.

Hi David,

Would you be able to log a support call via our site here https://www.clickstudios.com.au/support.aspx so we can investigate more. We need the following information:

 

1. What Operating System is this on?

2. What version of PowerShell does this SharePoint server have

3. And provide screenshots of the groups, and local accounts on this machine.

Thanks
