Issue

Certain computer resources which have the LSS plug-in agent and have a password policy applied to them do not show the right-click menu item for displaying the password.

Cause

The "Show Managed User Passwords" right-click action is associated with certain resource types. By default prior to 7.0 SP1 it was only the base Computer resource type.  With SP1 this is expanded to include Virtual Computers.

Resolution

Import this attached file with contains the following XML. Note:  it should be able to be imported almost anywhere but sometimes SMP 7 has seemed to give interesting results so it is recommended that the folder it should be in is the best place to import it.  That is under Settings, Notification Server, Right-Click menu, and then Local Security.  Add additional resource types as necessary to the <targetResourceTypes> section.  This XML has beyond the default base Computer and Virtual Computer types the "Dell Computer" resource type already added to it - <targetResourceType guid="07114268-8B67-4477-9583-168093378080" />.
