Problem Note 65512: Running a SYSTASK command results in an "Access is denied" message in the SASĀ® log
 |  |  |  |  |
Running a SYSTASK command results in an āAccess is deniedā message as well as a āCould not create a new processā error.
This problem occurs when all of the following conditions are true:
- You enabled both Integrated Windows authentication (IWA) and Kerberos constrained delegation.
- You are also running a SASĀ® Object Spawner under a domain account.
The problem does not occur when the SAS Object Spawner is running under the LocalSystem account
The workaround is to edit the WorkspaceServer_usermods.bat file in SAS\SAS-configuration-directory\Lev1\SASApp\WorkspaceServer\. In the file, add -limitui to the USERMODS_OPTIONS line. Save the BAT file, and then invoke the SASĀ® Workspace Server.
