Best practice is to use a domain user account (service account)Mon, 20 Feb 2012 15:18:51 GMTwhsmithhttp://forum.ultimatewindowssecurity.com/Topic892-7-1.aspxHey Randy, </p><p>Regarding runing services/tasks as the local system account, i have a powershell script that i need to run as a scheduled task. I would prefer to run the script using the builtin local system account, however the script need to access a remote computer to perform some operations.</p><p>So my questions are as follows.</p><p>1. Am i making a big security mistake and should i run the scheduled task as a domain users with the required access (admins).</p><p>2. If i can use the local system account, how do i give it permission on the remote computer to do its job?</p><p>I assume i need to give the Server1$ account rights on RemoteServer$ somehow?Sun, 08 Jan 2012 16:03:15 GMTandrewhuddleston
