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?

Questions about the "__wfilterd_user " user

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.
