Run scheduled task as system

[Andrey]

Hi Advanced Installer team,

Is it possible to create scheduled task which should run by LocalSystem user account?
I've tried .\LocalSystem, but during installation got 4106 error (cannot verify useraccount)
Best regards,
Andrey

/RU username
A value that specifies the user context under which the task runs. For the system account, valid values are "", "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM", or "SYSTEM". For Task Scheduler 2.0 tasks, "NT AUTHORITY\LOCALSERVICE", and "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE" are also valid values.

What password should I use for sheduling task for NT AUTHORITY\LOCALSERVICE?
Looks like field should be empty, but UI suppose that passord is mandatory

Hi and welcome to our forums.

The password is mandatory in case the "Run only if this user is logged on" option is unchecked. The Operating System, indeed, does not supported this option for the "LOCALSERVICE" account, but in order to avoid the mandatory password, you can check it when you create the scheduled task in Advanced Installer, and it will be installed correctly on the machine (with that option unchecked).
