Saving task fails

Question / Problem

When I try to save a scheduled task, I receive an error message "Task credentials could not be stored". What can I do?

Answer / Solution

In order to store credentials for a task, TreeSize uses Windows' credential manager. However, the setting that allows to store these credentials can disabled by the Administrator, via group policy. In that case, creating new tasks is not possible.

You can change this setting by starting the security policy manager "SECPOL.MSC". Navigate to "Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options" and locate the option "Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication". Make sure that this setting is disabled, if you want to create an automated task.
