Description:

When uploading data collected from netexec or rusthound-ce I get the error "1 File(s) failed to ingest as JSON Content". I get the error even if I upload the whole .zip file or the files unzipped. Unfortunately I only have a domain user with no access to a domain machine to try the windows ingestors from a domain joined pc. I have reinstalled all programs and the issue persists.
