Change 'System Account' to logged in 'User Name'.


Sometimes in SharePoint 2010, we come across a situation where, instead of showing the user name of logged in, the site is displayed as 'System Account'.

Here are the steps to change it:

Step 1:
Open 'SharePoint 2010 Central Administration'.
Goto 'Security' → 'Configure service accounts'.









Step2:
Select the 'web application' from 1st dropdown list, where you want to change the display name.
Change 'managed account' from 2nd dropdown list.




It will ask to do IISReset, click on OK.

Now goto the 'web application', see the reflected changes.
