Accounts used by SMS2.0

[andywhitton]

We have just installed SMS 2.0. We are amazed by the number of (administrator) accounts that it creates, both Domain and Local.

Are there any options available to manage this or do we just have to go with the MS defaults ?

~ we have created a service account for main the server that we use. Its the domain accounts like
SMS&_SERVER1
SMS&_SERVER2
SMSClient_SITE1
SMSCliToknAcct&
SMSLogonSvc
SMSServerSITE1

that we want to try and control better.

One issue we encountered is that within Windows 2000 environments, you will need to either have Anonymous Access enabled or apply a fix available from Microsoft. Here's the info on that problem:
