Dear,

Friends, hope you can help me

I got an local user, it has the same machine id like other local user plus 1003, but it is not in the SAM registry.

I can see it in the Profilelist key in the Software registry an had begun session as I saw in the NTUSER.DAT and Usr.

Do you have any idea how this user could be created?

PS I has some artifacts that Mimikatz was user.

Many thanks for your help

You need to clarify that. A local user is defined by having corresponding record in SAM. If there is no such entry, it's not a local user.

(I assume you're saying that the user RID is 1003?)

I can see it in the Profilelist key in the Software registry an had begun session as I saw in the NTUSER.DAT and Usr.

So, is it a possibility that the user was created some time ago, and then deleted? Or are you able to exclude that?

Do you have any other local users with RID > 1003? If you do, you may be able to say within what timespan that SID was created.
