An error occurred while running the task ConnectionPointPublisher (SCP) (4267060)

You may have opted not to include the SCP (Service Connection Point) publishing permissions to your Password Manager’s service account. You’ll notice the following errors being logged on your event logs every 15-20 minutes:

Result: Failure

Info:

An error occurred while running the task ConnectionPointPublisher:

Exception occurred while publishing Service Connection Point to domain ‘contoso.local’: Access is denied.

By default, Password Manager attempts to publish the SCP every 15 -20 minutes. Due to lack of permission, an access denied event will be logged on the service host's Event log.

WORKAROUND

1.  Give the Account used to access the domain the permissions that it needs to run the scheduled task.

Please see https://support.quest.com/password-manager/kb/27946

2. IF and ONLY IF you do NOT use the Secure Password extension (SPE) on the clients, then you can disable the TaskConnectionPublisher following the steps below:

1. Stop the Password manager service.
2. Navigate to: C:\ProgramData\One Identity\ Password Manager
3. .Locate the shared.storage file and open it in Notepad
4. Run a search for the task id : 7c8f13f8-97bf-4ca9-a420-e8551ce71e00
5. Change the enabled value from “true" to "false"
6. Save the file.
7. Restart the Password Manager service
8. Now open the Admin site, make some minor change to enable the Save button (you can change and revert the changes if necessary). Then, click on the Save button to validate the change

Please make sure to follow Step 8 as it will update the shared.storage timestamp and ensure that the change made to the file is propagated to AD and to other instances of Password Manager.
