Thread: Identifying special accounts




Identifying special accounts
user name
2007-01-05 01:13:47
I am trying to display a list of users on the local
computer.  I am using
DirectoryEntry().Children to get all of the objects and
looking for
SchemaClassName = "User".

I then remove any users that are in the SpecialAccounts
list.

However, there appears to be a way to flag accounts as
special other than:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows
NTCurrentVersionWinlogonSpecialAccountsUserList

Does anyone know how this is done?

For example on my machine I have a __vmware_user__ account,
and a
SUPPORT_388945a0 that I would like to remove but I can't
find where/how they
are flagged as special accounts.

Thanks,
-Mont
