All users being logged in as System Account

4.8k Views Asked by At

So I have my little Sharepoint single server farm all setup and everything was running pretty smoothly until I noticed this happening last week:

Every time someone logs in, they get logged in as "System Account" instead of "Domain\User"

I've done some extensive searching on here and Google, but the only solution that I came up with was that it was an App Pool Identity problem

Any suggestions?

I just wanted to say for the sake of anyone Googling this that here is how I fixed it: In the Administration Page, navigate your way to Farm Credentials. From there look at your Farm Account in the drop down menu, and make sure that user is set to a profile with enough privileges. Mine was set to NT\AUTHORITY or SYSTEM\NETWORK (I can't remember which; I've since stopped working with Sharepoint) and I changed it to DOMAIN\USER. After restarting Sharepoint and IIS everything worked and all the users were logging it with DOMAIN\USER instead of "System Account"

Sounds like you are on the right track. I would first check application pool security account. Is it possible that you selected a domain group that contains all of your users?

Also, after actions that Rich Bennema provide, maybe need to perform issreset to applay changes.
