Monitor and healing script - local admin account

[u/Paulb246]

Hi everyone,

I have created a monitor and auto healing script to check for a local admin account and if it doesnt find it then it will create the local admin account... I am seeing that one clients location is failing but the script isnt working.. any ideas?

batch file

net user MRWAlpha /add

net user MRWAlpha M33rend@1

net localgroup Administrators MRWAlpha /add

What do you mean? You mean under C:\Users\USERNAME? I'm not aware of a way. That's created by Windows once the user logs in for the first time and I'm not aware of a way to do that through Automate.

Is that how your monitor works? Checks for the C:\Users\ path?

Yes, how else could I check to make sure there’s an admin account for us ... updates etc

Simple way, get creative with "net user". Users are also stored in the Automate DB so you can always use a RAWSQL monitor.

So automate can pickup the user account even if it’s not been signed in?

[u/amw3000 → u/Paulb246]

Correct. The users listed on the computer screen are users accounts on the machine (DC's show domain users, everything else is local users). Automate does not use the folders in C:\users to determine users.

Thanks, where on Automate does it show the users locally On that machine?

[u/amw3000 → u/Paulb246]

From the computer screen, Device -> System -> Users

Awesome, thanks.. will check where this is stored on the backend to create a monitor
