Task Scheduler Error “A specified logon session does not exist”
A specified logon session does not exist
Hello All,
Hope this post finds you in good health and spirit.
This post is regarding Task Scheduler Error “A specified logon session does not exist”
Task Scheduler Error “A specified logon session does not exist”
This specific problem included using Task Scheduler on a Windows 2008 R2 Server to create a task (can occur on Windows 7 as well). We were unable to create a scheduled job because of the following error:
There was a problem with the task “task name.” Message of error: The following error was found: A specified logon session does not exist. It may have already been terminated.
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.
GPEDIT.MSC | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication
Resolution:
- Open Local Security Policy Console by running GPEDIT.msc in the Run dialog box.
- Go to Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication.
- Double-click to open the policy and select Disabled.
- Click Apply and then OK.
if this is configured by domain policy, please make the changes as per above steps and update the group policy on client machine to effect these changes.
NOTE: If you select the “Run only when user is logged on” Security option under the General page, you won’t get this problem (we do not store passwords in this scenario).
So, that’s all in this blog. I will meet you soon with next stuff .Have a nice day !!!
