Hello,

Using Win2k sp3, IE6

When using the IE Task Scheduler from
Control Panel, how can give the Local System
credentials in the RunAs prompt?

I've tried
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM with a null password.

it doesn't work. I _can_ do this via VBScript and
the SchAgent ActiveX object. How to do this
manually?

EOT,

this is the expected behavior. I've found a couple of
posts in Groups.google by programmers that echo this
limitation: you can't set a Job to run under
the Local user (with null pwd) manually via the GUI.

Is it generally agreed that it would be a security
risk if we could do the above?
