Questions about the "__wfilterd_user " user

[donghuang]

After installing Wfilter and integrating with our Active Directory, an account named wfilter is created as Domain admin in my active directory. does it have to have domain admin privileges?

A local "__wfilterd_user" user and "__wfilterd_group" group will be created during installation. WFilter needs to use this user's security context for certain operations.



If the WFilter program is installed in a domain controller, this user and group will created in your domain since a domain controller has no local user.



This "__wfilterd_user" user will also belongs to the "Domain Admins" group. It's a default windows behavior. However it's not required. If you remove wfilter user from domain admins group, it does no influence to the WFilter program.
