The Run As Account that you create in System Center Operations Manager 2007 or in System Center Essentials 2007 does not run a task successfully

You create a Run As Account in Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 or in Microsoft System Center Essentials 2007. The Create Run As Account Wizard finishes successfully as expected. However, the Run As Account that you create does not successfully run a monitor, a rule, or a task.

This behavior occurs if you enter incorrect credentials when you create the Run As Account. The Create Run As Account Wizard does not verify the credentials that you specify when you create a Run As Account.

Note We recommend that you verify the account information that you enter on the Account page of the Create Run As Account Wizard.

To resolve this issue, modify the account credentials for the Run As Account with which you experience this behavior. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Start the Operations Console Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in.
2. In the navigation pane, click Administration.
3. Expand Administration, expand Security, and then click Run As Accounts.
4. Double-click the affected Run As Account, and then click the Account tab.
5. Enter the appropriate credentials for the account, and then click OK.

Note Before you create a Run As Account, we recommend that you test the account credentials by using the account to log on to Windows. This is to help verify that you enter the correct account credentials when you create a Run As Account.

You can also use a Windows PowerShell script to create a Run As Account. For more information about how to use command-line commands to manage Systems Center Operations Manager 2007, visit the following Microsoft Web log (blog) site:
