Error:

While creating a new Smart Group Update job in GroupID Management Console, we are getting the following error:

Cause:

When we create a scheduled job in GroupID Management Console, a schedule is created in Windows Task Scheduler. This error is an exception raised by Windows Task Scheduler if the following security policy is enabled:

Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication

The new version of Task Scheduler (Windows Vista onwards) uses Windows Credential Manager to store the credentials of the account that is specified to perform a task. If the Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication policy is enabled and applied, Credential Manager cannot store the credentials locally; thus this error message appears.

Resolution:

  1. Open Local Security Policy Console by running secpol.msc in the Run dialog box.
  2. Go to Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication.
  3. Double-click to open the policy and select Disabled.
  4. Click Apply and then OK.

This should resolve the issue. If not, please email at support@imanami.com.
