Re: WMI script ran as LocalSystem

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the interest Gerry. Funny thing is that Win2k3 SP1 works....

When you say the "script reports Access Denied", what does that mean exactly? What does the script look like at this point and what line gives this error? How did you get it to run as "LocalSystem" and what kind of scheduler did you use?

Hi Scott,

That's an interesting one. You can set a domain account with "hidden" password if you use the GUI scheduler, but I don't know about LocalSystem.

I have a script that I want to launch at various time through out the day so I want to use Scheduler but the script reports "Access Denied". The script runs fine under Admin account but not as LocalSystem and it runs fine as LocalSystem if the machine is Win2k3 SP1. Does anyone know what permissions have to be changes to allow a WMI script to ran from a service (Local System)?

thanks
