[wpkg-users] WPKG-Service - Script Execution Context

[Michael Chinn]

You may be able to initiate WPKG as system if you allow null sessions to 
the WPKG share (samba has this as an option in their advanced config 
somewhere)
Alternately you could let the script call wpkg.bat and use runas to run 
the process under another account

Typical MS response....

Service Running as SYSTEM account cannot access the network.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/124184

Services, including the Scheduler, use null session support when logged 
on as system account to interact with desktop.
When a process is running under the context of the system account, it 
attempts to use a null session for credentials to acquire a resource 
access. AT scripts performing commands, such as NET USE, will default to 
these credentials. A protocol analyzer trace reveals the null session 
request associated with the Server Message Block (SMB) Session Setup & X 
in which no explicit credentials are passed.

RESOLUTION
Do not use the system account.
