Error When Adding Scheduled Task

Symptom

When you attempt to save a scheduled task, Netwrix Access Analyzer prompts the following error:

Failed to add scheduled job. Error while saving the task. A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.

Cause

This error occurs because in Local Security Policy settings, the tasks are created with this security option enabled: Run whether user is logged on or not.

Within local security policy (SECPOL.MSC) | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options, this option is enabled: Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication.

Resolution

Disable this setting: Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication. If this setting is not configurable, it must be changed at the Group Policy level.
