This article was previously published under Q236318 SUMMARY
In Systems Management Server 2.0 Service Pack 1, the Server Connection account is created in the same domain where the Site Server resides. This account has the name SMSServer_site code and is used to connect from Remote Site Systems to the Site Server.
