2014-01-22 Thread Graham Allwood

This makes me both happy and sad. I rebooted the server and it installed successfully. Wonderful, it installed. So, do I just document the scenario and move on? Pbbt. BTW, I answered my own question below. Yes, 'SYSTEM' is the same as 'LocalSystem'. Thanks for your concern, especially Car
