SYMPTOMS
========

If your domain properties are set to Use All Detected Servers, the Site
Configuration Manager service will enumerate all servers in the domain,
regardless of their role.

If the member servers have not been previously configured for this type of
installation, the following error messages may appear in the system event log:

  Logon attempt with current password failed with the following error: Logon
  failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this
  computer.

  -or-

  The SMS_INVENTORY_AGENT_NT service failed to start due to the following
  error: The service did not start due to a logon failure.

  -or-

  The SMS_PACKAGE_COMMAND_MANAGER_NT service failed to start due to the
  following error: The service did not start due to a logon failure."

CAUSE
=====

This can occur if the Systems Management Server service account has not been
given the Log On As A Service user right. This privilege is not automatic on
member servers; they must be given this right in each member server's LOCAL
accounts database.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, give the Systems Management Server service account
on each member server the Log On As A Service user right.
