I am having an issue with Group Policy applying with the wrong account. We lock down the PC's in our system. When Installing apps or accessing certain tools, we are prompted for and required to input an account with elevated privileges. When my PC updates GP logged in with my standard login, it tries to connect with my administrative account, which I would have used to install something at some point. It didn't come to my attention until I changed the password on the administrative account and started triggering 8194, bad password errors on my local PC and Domain Controller. I don't have this issue on other computers. These credentials have to be stored somewhere. I deleted the standard and administrative profiles on my computer, but still have the same issue. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
