Hi Uzma,
Clayton James writes the following in one of his excellent blog articles: It is strongly recommended that you use a dedicated account to log in and install Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Server 2007 servers. This account can also be used as the identity of the Central Administration site application pool, or it can be unique. By design, the Welcome menu displays "system account" if that account is used to log on to any application pool or Web site. This behavior continues even if the application pool identity is changed to the Network Service. This means your administrator account should not be used as an application pool identity or to install an SharePoint Server 2007 server.

If so, we had similar issue; the issue was on one client pc the credential was saved for a particular site for a particular user in control panel>Users and Password>Advanced Tab>Manage Password and the user who is currently logged was not logged in SharePoint instead the stored User\password was used. Can you please check that?

For some reason, my log in credientials on a client machine has turned me into "System Account". I have checked that my account is not listed as a system account in Central Administration, the SharePoint admin account is not an application pool account. When I log into CA, my name is listed nicely, but not on the Intranet page. Any tips or advice? Have roamed the net of course, no fix yet, there are blogs saying that updatefarmcredentials fixes this problems but for me it doesn't. Many thanks, Uzma (Hoping this isn't another can of worms, maybe we should have a definitive SharePoint can of worms here! :)) ________________________________ Beyond Hotmail - see what else you can do with Windows Live.
