SUMMARY
When Systems Management Server is configured to automatically configure
workstation login scripts, it will not modify the user profile for the
Administrator and Guest accounts.
MORE INFORMATION
Systems Management Server can be configured take the inventory of a
computer each time it logs on to a domain. This is accomplished with the
account's login script. Systems Management Server will create a script
(Smsls.bat/.cmd) and assign it to accounts that did not previously have a
logon script or will add the necessary lines to those that do. This
automatic configuration does not assign a script to the Administrator and
Guest accounts of a domain. This is by design.
If the user profiles of the Administrator or Guest accounts are configured
to run a login script that is also shared by a normal user account, Systems
Management Server will configure the existing .bat or .cmd file to call
SMSLS. This is the only way to automatically configure the Administrator or
Guest accounts to execute Systems Management Server client setup and
inventory.
