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.
