Ok, I answered my own question on the last one so that should not count against me :) I have another: CheckRunningLocalSystem : ExecuteDiagnostic.js script not running as local system Now the EXCHANGE 2007 LOCAL SYSTEM ACCOUNT that I setup is a member of the local administrators group. Does that not grant local system privileges?? Hope someone will answer this one for me!!! :) Kevin

Technically, no. The meta-account "LocalSystem" is a sandboxed entity - if you do make an account that has localsystem behavior, it will not be successful at doing things that have to execute off-box. Any remote access, remote powershell, web URL calls, .NET calls etc that traverse the network are blocked by the localsystem association.Microsoft Corporation

So how do I do that? Do I point the EXCHANGE 2007 LOCAL SYSTEM profile to MACHINENAME\LOCALSYSTEM instead of DOMAIN\USERACCT?? Also, if I am on the right path....would I have to use .\LocalSystem since this account is used on many machines??? Kevin

You may want to check the guide for the specific steps. You need to use a domain account that is exchange admin and a member of local administrator group, I believe (but do check the guide)Microsoft Corporation

Hi, I think you can have a check referring to the following document: Exchange Server 2007 Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 R2 Guide - Security Considerations http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772571.aspx Hope this helps.
