QVLocalAdmin

JVDallas — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

We are getting a error stating that the QVLocalAdmin account failed to log on. This happens at the time our QlikView docs run. We can't find where the QVLocalAdmin account is coded. All of our docs are running successfully. Does anyone know where I can see this account, or why it is being used instead the account we have set up for the service to use?

Could you specify where the error is logged and provide us with more details on the message?

For example, if it is written in one of our (Qlik's) log files, which log file is it, and what does the message look like?

Or if it is written by the Windows Event logs, what service is printing the error and what does the message look like?

Could you please check

1-the service is part of local admin and is in QlikView Administrators group

2- open the .qvw in QVdesktop and try reloading. What error you get?
