How to Test Scheduler Windows Service

Before starting the Scheduler Windows Service, run a test to ensure the account you've chosen has sufficient permissions to access Active Directory:

Open Scheduler Service dialog as desribed in How to use Scheduler Windows Service

AD Reports Scheduler Service start

Choose an account to initiate the service, then click the "Test Service Account" button.

If the chosen account lacks the necessary permissions to access Active Directory, an error message will appear in the status log window and a "Failed" status will show up under the "Test Service Account" button. You'll either need to grant this account the required permissions or pick a different account.

AD Reports Scheduler Service start

Choose the "Network Service" account this time and give it another try.

AD Reports Scheduler Service start

It worked this time. This feature should assist you in deciding which account to use for initiating the scheduler service, preventing missed reports later on. You can now go ahead and start the service.
