Hi and thank you for your time. I am was given the task of managing our sharepoint server. The server was not setup by myself but I was part of the install process. i am trying to correct a couple of issues in the "Review Problems and solutions" section of the Central Administration" page.
Security
Issue 1. The server farm account should not be used for other services. SPTimerService (SPTimerV4)
Issue 2. Accounts used by application pools or service identities are in the local machine Administrators group. SPTimerService (SPTimerV4)
Issue 1, I know I can change service accounts on the farm credential management page, but the SPTimerService is not listed. where is this located and how can I change it.
Issue 2, When I move the user account out of the local admin group people picker breaks for all sites except for the Central administration site. An example would be on the CA site I click share and enter a name and it resolves to a AD user. and I can then share the page. but on a site I click share and type the name I get the following message "Sorry, we're having trouble reaching the server." I have run iisreset /noforce and it still people picker doesnot work.
Thank you again for your time.
Paul
