Hello
I have had a problem for a while in my network. Several computer accounts keep creating local user accounts and deleting them in a matter of minutes. This occurs in several devices in my environment.
Could this be a service?

The destination account name is usually the same across all the affected hosts. These accounts are created and deleted in a short time by the computer accounts.
