Symptom


If the traffic is initiated by an application running with the context of a user (e.g. web browser), the socket information can be intercepted by the Terminal Server Agent which will replace the source port. However, if the traffic is generated by a service running with System context, the agent is not able to determine the user information. For example, the Terminal Server Agent will not map SMB traffic to a username as this is run in a system context.
