Missing hidden account restored - search still shows it's missing

We've been pushing out a script that recreates the hidden admin account. The script is working, some computers show the account exists, some show it didn't so it's installed.

The problem now, we're not seeing the number of "computers without hidden account" saved search results dropping. I spot checked some of the computes in the search result, and found that JSS is reporting the account missing despite the account being present. I can SSH to the box using the hidden account and it's home dir exists in /var with proper sub-500 UID.

We have Inventory Options set to look for hidden accounts. So searches for the account should find visible/hidden accounts. But search result still shows the account is missing on those computers when it's not.

PS, I know...upgrade to 7.21 and use Extension Attributes to do a *real* search for the account...we can't upgrade yet. :(

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Don

No responses...I guess searching for hidden accounts is broken in 7.1?
