Using these settings, the SMS job can run whether a user is logged on or not. Run Mode has
been set to run in Administrator rights. Windows NT client software installation account is
selected because software will be obtained from a network location.

When a job is sent to the client and that client is logged onto the network, a special icon
appears in the icon tray and the following message dialog appears on the screen:
