Issue/Introduction

One cyclic job runs every 10 mins and fails only at a particular time. It runs as expected before and after.

Found no issue with agent.

 

 

 

Environment

Windows

Cause

The following message is seen around the time of the issue.
    <Owner attribute error. The user name or password is incorrect.>

The agent's joblogs also show this on the days of the failures;
    CAWA_E_20020 Logon failed for <domain>\<user> due to: The user name or password is incorrect.. Error code: 1326

The agent logs, runner_os_* show a little more...

06/12/2023 13:10:00.681-0400: 1. Logon[2] failed for <domain>\<user> due to: 1909 - The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to.
06/12/2023 13:10:00.692-0400: 2. Logon[4] failed for <domain>\<user> due to: 1909 - The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to.
06/12/2023 13:10:10.692-0400: Logon user failed for <domain>\<user> due to: The user name or password is incorrect.

As the job works just prior and after the failures and the messages above about the account being locked, this suggests the id/password as defined in AutoSys is correct.
Something external may also be using the id and locking.

 

Resolution

The Windows/AD admin should investigate also check the Account Lockout policy.
