Client Creator Service
The Client Creator Service is automatically installed along with SCCM Manager. The service processes the queue entries of the Client Creator plug-in; this process can be extended with plug-ins as needed.
Configuration file
Some basic settings for the service can be configured in {SCCM Manager installation path}\Services\Client Creator Queue\AppConfig.xml.
Normally, this file does not need to be configured, as all configurations are performed during installation.

Use Custom Credentials
If you want to use a user context other than the computer context (Local System) when connecting to the SCCM Manager web service, you can specify a different user.
To do this, you must first set the “Webservice use credentials” parameter to “True” in the configuration file (located at {SCCM Manager installation path}\Services\Client Creator Queue\AppConfig.xml) of the Client Creator Service.
Then, you must specify the credentials to be used for the user context.
To do this, start the “ClientCreatorService” application from the command prompt with the “-setcredentials” parameter.
The application is located at {SCCM Manager installation path}\Services\Client Creator Queue\}.
