Error: Exception=System.Security.Principal.IdentityNotMappedException: Some or all identity references could not be translated.

Hi,

I have scheduled reloads going. The reload of the report seems to be fine, but then I receive this so the task fails:

Error: Exception=System.Security.Principal.IdentityNotMappedException: Some or all identity references could not be translated.

Any help would be great!

I have exactly the same problem with QV 11.2 SR 12 running on windows 2012? The erro messages on the log are :

The user starting the services is a user of the domain and is part of the administrators of the server

Any idea ?

I had my QV documents folder within the Program Files. When I took it out, it worked

I would then say to check your folder permissions

Hi mberry1534‌,

I got the same exception, and when I place my qlikview files folder out side of the program files, it is working.

But did you find the solution for that exception, when you place your qvw files folder inside the Program Files ?

hi,

we had so many problems with that server that we reinsatlled it from scratch . and now it works

but before, we detected problems with gpo that overrided security given to users

good luck ......
