After installing the Beacon, a Task Scheduler error may appear:

An error has occurred for task ‘Upload Flexera inventories’.
Error message: A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.

In Task Scheduler, the Beacon folder is created in the Task Scheduler Library, but no individual Beacon tasks appear. As a result, the Beacon is unable to connect to the application server because no schedules exist. This behavior is caused by the following Windows security policy that prevents Task Scheduler from storing credentials required by Beacon tasks:

Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication

Beacon task credentials cannot be stored in Windows Credential Manager when this policy is active, resulting in failed task creation and the logon session error.
