Hey Randy,

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.

So my questions are as follows.

1. Am i making a big security mistake and should i run the scheduled task as a domain users with the required access (admins).

2. If i can use the local system account, how do i give it permission on the remote computer to do its job?

I assume i need to give the Server1$ account rights on RemoteServer$ somehow?

The local system account does not have any rights to access the network.  Best practice is to use a domain user account (service account)
