NETWORK SERVICE account

Question

Get a list of what groups exh01\NETWORK SERVICE and exch02\NETWORK SERVICE belong to.

I thought i would verify the above request here first. I thought the NETWORK SERVICE was a local account not in any local groups and not in any AD groups.

is there someplace else i should be looking?

thanks

Answer 1

The NetworkService account is a predefined local account used by the service control manager. This account is not recognized by the security subsystem, so you cannot specify its name in a call to the LookupAccountName function. It has minimum privileges on the local computer and acts as the computer on the network.

Answer 2

Hi,
Yes, as you mentioned above, it is a local account.
It can't be added to any ad groups.
It is not in any local groups by default if you didn't add it manually.

Best Regards,
