Question

FMW fails to run via Scheduled Task when Using Service Account

Hi there,

I have a number of FME Workflows on our GIS server that successfully run via scheduled tasks and bat file. However this latest one I have created only runs under my account and not the service account. The difference between this and other workflows is that this one is connecting to web services (Vicmap as a Service). I have made sure the service account has full permissions on any folders it is writing to as well the FME Programs folder. We are currently on FME Workbench 2022 but will soon be upgrading to the latest license structure.

Do I need to consider any other permissions when dealing with web services?

 

Regards,

Josh

    Are you able to check the log? My only guess would be some kind of Authentication and/or firewall issue.

    At your service ^B

    Thanks for the response. The log in Event Viewer shows an “Action Failed” with 

     

    Task Scheduler failed to complete task "\Microsoft\Windows\CertificateServicesClient\KeyPreGenTask" , instance "{af9771d5-5594-4cf4-8a75-75aadf082da2}" , action "NGC Pregeneration Task Handler" . Additional Data: Error Value: 2148073520.

     

    and “Action Start Failed” with 

     

    Task Scheduler failed to start instance "{af9771d5-5594-4cf4-8a75-75aadf082da2}" of "\Microsoft\Windows\CertificateServicesClient\KeyPreGenTask"  task for user "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" . Additional Data: Error Value: 2148073520.

     

    I’ll check with my IT team now.

     

    Thanks again.

     

    Regards,
