Hi,

We are currenlty migrating windows scheduler jobs (WS2003) to Visual Cron (WS2012 R2).
System is X64.

We enabled the "Do not Require CTRL + ALT + DEL" policy as we need to execute foreground applications.
However, task is always failing with message : "Desktop Unlock/Logon failed in task: Exécuter, reason: Failed to connect to Credential Provider"

I activated extended debbuging, and I can see some warnings :

Do you have an idea why we face the issue ?

FYI, we use version : 7.6.5, and we can't upgrade it.

Thanks and Regards,

Laurent

Hi,

This is a really blocking issue... @Support : can you please help us ?

Try rebooting the server. In version 8 we have made some changes to handle "locks" that could happen if someone else logs on to a session (as this might "disturb" the VisualCron implementation). We advise you to upgrade as soon as possible.
