Does anyone know how to specify the use of the LocalSystem (system account) for Task Scheduler?

I am trying to perform a process on a server and don't want to use a Domain or local account. On servers with the Schedule service I achieve what I want using XNET to modify the service with LocalSystem for account and no password (where applicable as this is the default for the Schedule service).

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

The Task Scheduler itself runs under the LocalSystem account but it requires a regular domain user account for any task. This can be either a local domain account like COMPUTER\Account or a global domain account like DOMAIN\Account. If you want to use the Localsystem account, then you'll need the password for this. The only way to get this password, AFAIK, is to run a brute-force attach on the local SAM of the spoecific computer.

Why is it not sufficient to e.g. create a user account for TaskScheduler Task or using an existing local/domain user account?
