The Client Creator Service is automatically installed during the SCCM Manager installation. The service processes the queue entries of the Client Creator plug-in, this process can be extended with plug-ins depending on the requirements.

Configuration

Under {SCCM Manager Installation Path}\Services\Client Creator Queue\AppConfig some basic settings of the service can be configured.

Normally, this file does not need to be configured, since all configurations are made during installation.

Use your own credentials

If a user context other than the computer context (Local System) is to be used when connecting to the SCCM Manager web service, a different user can be stored.

To do this, the "Webservice use credentials" parameter must first be set to "True" in the configuration file (under {SCCM Manager Installation Path}\Services\Client Creator Queue\AppConfig) of the Client Creator Service.

Then you need to specify the credentials to be used for the user context.

For this purpose, the "ClientCreatorService" application is started via the command prompt with the "-setcredentials" parameter.

The application is located under {SCCM Manager Installationspfad}\Services\Client Creator Queue\}.
