Getting Data In

Can't determine universal forwarder service account

Hi,

I've inherited a poorly documented splunk deployment that seems to have been misconfigured. the universal forwarder service isnt starting on workstations due to a logon issue. Either the password is wrong or the account it is configured with is wrong.

Is there a way to determine what account is the correct account/which account the deployment server is expecting the UF to use?

Many thanks in advance.

Please check the owner of the file deploymentclient.conf which was essentially used to poll the server.
Please let me know what you found.
