Using tokens in password fields

  • 1.  Using tokens in password fields

    Posted Mar 28, 2008 12:28 AM
    Hi everyone! Does anyone know if it's possible to use a token in the password field of the "Run job as specific user" or other password fields? I'm specifically thinking of a situation where you need to create a system account with admin rights, run a task then delete the account. Since I don't like leaving "known" passwords to Admin accounts lying around in batch files or databases, I'm wondering if there's a way I could generate a random password (know how to do this), store it in the DS's database (know how to do this) and then parse that password as a token. I know I can send the token down into a batch file when needed, but can I use it in copy or install jobs in the DS console?
