We have SMS 2.0 SP5, one primary site server and two secondary site servers.
The operating system is Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2000 Professional
for the clients. The problem is with Windows group policies and the
SMSCliSvcAcct&. When I move the clients out of the OU that has policies
defined and into the Computers OU where policies are not defined they get
their advertisements and packages. When I move them back into the OU with
group policies in place the clients software distribution will not work
unless I change the SMS Client Service Log On account from SMSCliSvcAcct& to
Local System account. I've changed the group policy System Services SMS
Client Service from not defined to defined with administrator group and
inserted the SMSCliSvcAcct& in that group with no luck. I've use the
SMSService domain admin account in that policy with no luck. I don't know
what in the group policies that needs to be changed or undefined. Is it
something in the Local Policies\User Rights Assignment?

Thank you,

Jack
