SharePoint adding, then removing Network Service to local groups

After upgrading our two server farm to SharePoint 2010, SP2, April 2014 CU, we've noticed activity in our event log when the Timer Service restarts daily and when FIM syncs run.  It looks like SharePoint is adding the Network Service account to
the local groups IIS_IUSRS and WSS_WPG, then removing it a little later on.
Does anyone know why this happens?  Is it expected activity or a bug with the version we are running?
Thanks in advance for your time- Rob

Hi Rob,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know why SharePoint adds and removes the Network Service account to local groups.
Per the thread below, it seems like it is an internal SharePoint process and SharePoint adds this user as a test to validate whether it has the rights necessary to add users to local groups.

  • Adding previously removed person back to a group ...

    I removed a person from a group chat but now wish to put them back in. However when I try to add them to that specific group their name doesn't show up. I can add them to any other group chat besides the one I removed them from before. How do I go about adding a previously removed person back to the chat that I removed them from?

    Use the Move tool and drag a corner. Be sure Constrain Proportions is turned in the options bar, or else hold down Shift while you drag if it isn't.

    Hi Kamal,
    Per my knowledge, SharePoint does not have the function to audit the changes in domain groups.
    What is “From” email address of the alerts?
    Please check if you have configured Windows System Resource Manager to send e-mail notifications when an event is logged firstly.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732728.aspx
    And it seems that the System Center Operations Manager(SCOM) can set the alert for auditing the changes to the local group membership.
    Please also check if you have installed SCOM and set rule to send the alerts in SCOM.

  • Error 5: Access Denied can not start the DHCP Client service on Local Computer.

    Ran into this error problem with both the DHCP and BFE service. Neither will start and both give me the same error code 5 access denied.
    Found this little nugget below:

    Local Admin = Full Control
    Local Users = Read
    Dhcp = Read with special permissions
    No problem adding the missing Local Service and Network Service. How does one add Dhcp? Is there a way to create this because under permissions there is no way to add this or search it up. Is there a NetSH reset command that will add this in for me?
    The Netlogon service was not running and to get the Netlogon service going I ran NetSH int ip reset and it started to work. The other services were not running either and I was hoping they would after resetting IP
    Any ideas on to fix this problem? Also, the user turned off the laptop when it was doing updates. Still I do not think it would have created this headache.

    Hi,
    According to your description, in my opinion, all the events in your task manager were works properly. I coudn't find anything unormal through your screenshot. Serivce host works to manage system service, while there is different type of service. Therefore,
    you could find multiple Service Host with different suffixes.
    However, account to your event log error, you may suffering network connection problem, isn't it? Your computer seems couldn't achieve IP adress from DHCP server. Please contact with your network admin for further assistance with your network problem.

  • Network Service Order Causing Conflict with Private DNS on Local Network

    I'm currently working on deploying a Snow Leopard Server-based setup for a university student-run television station, using a Mac mini Server. Because our university's own networking infrastructure is somewhat wonky and restrictive, I have recently networked our station's six other computers and the Mac mini Server together through wired Ethernet, using an AirPort Base Station as a router along with some D-Link Ethernet switches.
    As a result, our computers are networked together on their own network completely independently from our university's network, but because this wired network has no internet access, all of our computers connect to our university's wi-fi network over AirPort for internet access.
    I've set up Snow Leopard Server with a private DNS name "atvserver.private" and am intending to use this server internally for file sharing, directory services, and Wiki Server (and possibly Podcast Server). However, because of the service order in Network Preferences, if our client computers are set to give AirPort priority, then they can connect to the internet, but cannot connect to the server's private DNS. On the other hand, if our client computers are set to give Ethernet priority, they can connect to the server, but lose their internet connection.
    The only solutions that I can think of are:
    1) Bridge the university's internet connection on our private wired network (but the university will not allow us to do this because it violates their security policies), or
    2) Come up with some way to bypass the networking service order so that "atvserver.private" goes to the Ethernet network, while everything else goes to the public internet over AirPort.
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    What's the ip range an subnet for the university network
    The issue has nothing to do with the IP addresses/subnets in use. It's about DNS resolution.
    Fortunately the solution is simple.
    Configure the DNS server on the SLS with the zone(s) for your private LAN.
    Enable DNS forwarders with the IP addresses of your university's DNS servers.
    Point your clients to your SLS for DNS service.
    Now all DNS requests from these clients will go to your server. For zones this server is responsible for (i.e. your private LAN) the server will reply, for all other lookups it will refer to your university's DNS servers for resolution.
    In this way your clients can resolve your private zones, the university's zones and public DNS hostnames. Problem solved

  • "Waiting for network services..." forever! Then, wont' accept WEP password!

    Anyone having this issue. One of my two new Apple TV 2s is doing this...was working fine for weeks and then bang!

    I had the same problem. I just wanted to stream content from Netflix for starters, no bothering with iTunes on a PC, but the aTV2 would be stuck "Waiting for network services". Checking my settings and my router reflected a good WiFi connection, DHCP address assigned, etc. Internet radio worked fine, as did photo screen saver from FlickR.
    Attempting to log in to iTunes gave an incorrect password error -- a lamentably bad error since the password was correct.
    No joy on Netflix login.
    No joy on YouTube. Which is puzzling since port 80 is open. (I wonder if the aTV2 is calling home to Apple even if you are just using Netflix or YouTube.)
    All of this is a major annoyance as you have to keep entering your accounts and passwords from scratch over and over with the silly remote control and alphanumeric entry control.
    I suspected AppleTV was trying to connect to its services on the internet on some ports my router firewall was blocking, but there is no discoverable, comprehensive, or accurate Apple documentation to indicate what ports those are. I tried opening TCP:3689 with no improvement.
    As a last try, I opened every outbound port for the aTV2. (That is not going to be acceptable in the long term. We run a tight network security ship here.) It still didn't work. "Waiting for network services...". Hmph! I powered cycled the aTV2. After it rebooted, it works fine with Netflix and Youtube. No "Waiting..."
    It is lamentable that aTV2 setup and/or network test doesn't report what ports it is failing to connect on. Bad bad OOBE Apple! XBOX 360 for example gives much more useful network config assistance.

  • "Sharepoint 2013" is giving error that prevents local domain users authentication for "Team Foundation Server"

    1st Error (from administrative events):

    Other Fixes I tried
    - Found on another topic that it is not sharepoint that is causing the problem, but it is the generated ASP.NET web pages used for testing is causing the memory to fill up due to cashing on RAM, the fix suggested to change IIS cashing from RAM to HD to prevent
    loading up using w3wp.exe from processes. 
    Concern
    - by checking other topics for people having the same problem, it was mentioned that this error appeared after the lastest TFS update, is there is a fix for it ?
