Details: Unknown user: [domain\myuserid]
This user is valid and is the same account being used to log into Management Server and TARGIT Desktop as a designer using Windows credentials.
User has rights to Schedule and Export Jobs.
I switched to regular security model and it succeeded with DEMO user.

Hi Karl,
I have seen this error as well for scheduled jobs.
To me it happens when running Windows Security on a locally installed TARGIT server. When I am in the office (or otherwise logged on to my workplace domain), I do not see the problem. But when I am at home or other places where I cannot log on to my workplace domain, the problem occurs as you describe it.
So it has something to do with authentication of the user/service running the scheduled job is not possible when you are not logged on to your domain.

Got it, thanks for confirming Ole. No major concern here. As you said, I'm just training on a personal laptop and not actually joined to the domain, so that explains it.
For the very same reason, my local installations are very often not running Windows Security, but instead Standard Security.
