You can use this account to run a program under a different user's security context. Programs that target Windows XP clients and use this account may not work if they contain command line switches or flags. WORKAROUND ========== To work around this problem, use SMSCliToknAcct& to make the program run successfully. This option is defined in the program properties by turning on the "Run with administrative rights" feature on the Environment tab.
