Alert and Log showing a short SID instead of the user name for an event
说明
Sometimes you will see some events that show "S-1-5-18" for User (Actor) field instead of the actual user name of user who triggered the event.
原因
This is expected behavior for "Well Known Accounts". For example, audited exchange events will often use the S-1-5-18 SID, which is the SID for the "Local System" account.
解决办法
Please see the following documentation from Microsoft on Well Known User Accounts:
