Expanding Security on Distribution Points

If you restricted access to the package on the distribution points when you created the package, you must now open that access. Do this by using the following procedure. If you are using SMS to run the program using administrative privileges, add the client network connection accounts used in the SMS site as your package access accounts.

To open security for the Windows 2000 package

1. In the SMS Administrator console, select Packages.
2. Select the Windows 2000 package and then Access Accounts.
3. From the Action menu, point to New, and then click Windows NT Access Account.
4. In the Access Account Properties dialog box, click Set.
5. In the Windows NT Account dialog box, enter the domain and user or group, and specify the Account Type. Click OK to close the dialog box.
6. In the Access Account Properties dialog box, verify that the Permissions are Read.

Repeat this procedure as necessary to add additional users or groups.
