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.
