When sp_security by local user runs in AD joined server, the command fails because the user is not detected as SharePlex Admin user even if it is in 'SPADMIN'.
Result:
C:\Windows\system32>sp_security --show
sp_security must be run as Administrator or by a user in spadmin group
User '<HOSTname>+<LOCALUSERname>' is not Administrator nor in spadmin group
Condition:
- The Windows host belongs to an Active Directory.
- SharePlex for Windows Version 12.1 to 12.3 is installed there.
- To run sp_security by local user on the host
However, sp_security command by a domain user that is in 'SPADMIN' works fine.
The issue is reported as SPO-25320. It happens since SPO-25030 fixed in version 12.1
Basically it is recommended that SharePlex Administration is operated by Domain Users in Active Directory environment.
When local users are required to operate the SharePlex command, please contact Quest Technical Support.
