Windows 10: Log in as ssh user "admin" fails with "unable to generate user token for admin as i am not...

Open ssh server on windows 10 is configured to log on as local "Administrator" user. Logging to ssh server as user "administrator" works fine. But logging in as local "admin" user fails with "get_user_token - unable to generate user token for admin as i am not running as system".


User administrator has been granted right to "replace process level token".



When ssh server is configured to logon as "local system" user, login as both "admin" and administrator user works fine but commands such as "net time" fails with "Access is denied" error.


admin@UVM-70A3CB5F C:\Users\admin>powershell.exe "& {NET TIME /DOMAIN:test.com /SET /Y; if ($?) {exit 0} else {exit 1}}"

System error 5 has occurred.




Access is denied.

Logging-in as an Admin user

Since I upgraded to Windows 10 I can no longer log-in as the Admin user. I am the sole user of the machine and as far as I can remember did not change my admin settings. The outcome of this is that I can no longer update any programmes as I am constantly
asked to log -in as an Admin user yet can find no way to do that.

 

System Admin Shenanigans?

No problem chief its pretty simple to do but usually a multi stage process.

Create an admin account using the control panel.

Then log out and log into the new admin account so windows builds it.

Then log back out and log into the super admin account your currently on.

go into your user directory and copy all of your primary user folders copy everything [CTRL+A] and copy them via right click and copy.

then go into your NEW user account and paste and allow overwrite of all the folders and files.

after it is done log into the new account and make sure everything is working correctly. if it is go to your super admin user account folder and delete all of your private data pictures documents etc.

then open up a command prompt as administrator and type the following

net user Administrator /active:no

and hit enter.
