Hi there,
Sorry for not being clear on this.
I'm logged in as usual on my laptop on the domain with my own log in
(domain\unaz)
When I go to the SharePoint site, instead of the top right hand corner saying,
"Welcome Uzma Naz", it says "Welcome System Account".
The only way I can get my name shown is by by using the "log in as a different
user" function using the browser.
Q: Is there a “System Account” alias tied to your user name?
A: Do you mean within Central Administration under Operations - Policies? No,
my name is not listed here. Is there anywhere else I should check out?
Q: are you saying that if you login through the UI as a different user, and
supply your personal credentials, the result is “Welcome System Account”?
A: When I click on "Welcome System Account" and log in as myself, my name is
shown. But have to change this every time I log in.
Wilson, I'm on Vista and a dedicated SharePoint admin account was used to
install SharePoint, there is a dedicated application pool account too...
I'm attending the Unified Communications event in London tomorrow so will ask
the MVPs there to see if they have seen this before.
Thanks for all the replies!

Hi Uzma,
Sorry if I’m off mark but a few questions below may help clarify what’s
happening.
When you say login credentials, are you referring to logging into the PC, or
logging into SharePoint through the browser?
Are you logging in as yourself, a generic account, or using an alias?
When you say “turned you into System Account” do you mean that this was evident
in the SPTools welcome link?
Is there a “System Account” alias tied to your user name?
Where in CA are you finding “System Accounts”? Do you mean Service Accounts or
Farm Administrators?
Cheers,
Paul

Subject: Welcome System Account when loading SharePoint
It's one of those brick wall moments for me right now.
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! :))
