Hello All,

I am trying to create a relevance, that is True, when a non admin has logged in /or created a SID record in ProfileList location.

Does anyone know where I am going wrong ? Any help greatly appreciated.

S-1-5-21 = Domain user
Admin_ = Admin accounts named

exists keys
whose
(
exists value “Sid”
whose
(
it as string contains “S-1-5-21”
)
of it
and
value “ProfileImagePath” of it as string does not contain “c:\users\Admin_”
)
of keys “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList” of
(
native registry
)

when in doubt, it’s best to break up the query into smaller pieces and see which thing is not giving the results you expect

The “Sid” value is a REG_BINARY that is not expressed in the SID format you’re expecting. Instead of looking at the SID value, it’s easier to look at the Name of the key:
