Scheduled Reports Failing/UAC issue?

I am working to setup scheduled reports for my QuickBooks desktop. 

 

Using: QuickBooks Desktop Premier 2018. Fulling up to date, Logged in as the admin on single user mode. Windows 10 machine using a network install of QuickBooks. I am working on a workstation not the server. 

 

When I open schedule reports center I get the message on the top of the report that: "QuickBooks found that your Windows is running in high UAC setting, which will block the scheduled reports." 

 

However, My control panel clearly states it is turned to "never notify" just like QuickBooks article states to turn it off. Computer settings have been changed and computer restarted multiple times. 

 

On the test scheduled report I've setup it lists under "last email" column: "Failure (details)". When I click on details I get a generic message: "The Scheduled Report has failed due to one or more of the following possibilities: One or more unknown errors have occurred. Please try again later." Basically a meaningless message that is not helpful. 

 

I have setup my mail clients in preferences to both using outlook to send and using a online gmail account. Both work fine on a report I click to email. They send fine that way. However nothing is working from the scheduled report side. 

 

My Request: Can someone give me any ideas why this would be failing? Things I can check outside of just pointing me to the article how to set up scheduled reports. I'm quite sure I've done all that. 

 

 

 

 

 

Side issue that probably doesn't have a solution: I would love to be able to send reports (Assuming they actually work) in multi-user mode. If I need to switch to single user mode once a week to get reports to send I'm fine with this but would love a way to make it happen. 


Main Goal: I have a bunch or reports that go do a bunch of different people so scheduled reports seems like the only way I can set this up. Processing multiple reports at once doesn't work because they all have to go to one email. I'd love a way to save a report with a email that it gets sent to automatically or even when I manually send them all at once. Don't know that QuickBooks can do this but would love if it could.

Scheduled Reports Failing/UAC issue?

Hello @wolffixer,

 

You can switch as a single user mode then Run a Verify and Rebuild to fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop.

 

To Verify:

  1. Click File at the top menu.
  2. Go to Utilities then select Verify.

 

To Rebuild:

  1. Click File at the top menu.
  2. Go to Utilities then select Rebuild.

Once done, try setting up a scheduled report in your QuickBooks.

 

For your reference, read through this help article: Fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file. It has the basic steps in using the Rebuild Data tool as well as using the file doctor. 

 

Let me know if you have more questions. We're always delighted to be your QuickBooks guide.

Scheduled Reports Failing/UAC issue?

I have done both of these things and it doesn't seem to make any difference. Only error that showed up was one thing had the wrong number. Nothing that seemed major.

 

When I'm in scheduled reports center the report is still falling to send. the generic error doesn't say anything but that it failed. 

 

Other issue I see that I mentioned above is that the scheduled reports center in QuickBooks still seems to think that I have UAC enabled but it is clearly off. Everything has been restarted multiple times since it was turned off. I don't know if this is causing it to fail but emails are not going through. I have tried both using outlook as the mail client and gmail. I can email through both ways sending invoices, statements, reports... but the scheduled reports center doesn't send anything just the error?

 

Any other thoughts?

Scheduled Reports Failing/UAC issue?

Thank you for the replay. So I understand correctly we are saying scheduled reports will not work at this point because of the issue with UAC? and QuickBooks Engineers are working on the issue?  I just want to make sure so I don't spend more time working to solve an issue on my end trying things that won't ever work and waste my time. Up to this point I do manually process all the reports. This was my attempt to save time and simplify from processing manually to scheduling everything. I will work at calling over on Monday sometime and try and get on a list to be contacted when they fix this if that is the best solution we have at this point.

I have called tech support for QB's and they say they have added my info to their list. Hopefully this gets resolved quickly because it would be very helpful to be able to use the scheduled reports. If you find out info that say the newest version of quickbooks fixed this issue or they release 2021 version with this fixed let me know I'd upgrade immediately.

Scheduled Reports Failing/UAC issue?

I also have this problem; UAC shows completely off, but QB will not transmit scheduled reports.  Premier desktop version on W10, with the data file on a server.  Is it possible that the server has something to do with this?  The auto send feature was one of the reasons I upgraded this year.  If if is not going to work, for goodness sakes take it off of the advertised features!!

This is still under investigation, richard b.

 

As of now, it's recommended to run the reports manually. Here's how:

  1. From the Reports menu, select Memorized and click Memorized Report List.
  2. Type the Report name you want to assign the report.  
  3. Click the Display
  4. On the upper corner tap E-mail, choose either send report as Excel or send report as PDF.

Check these articles for future reference:

How is this issue marked SOLVED??  Its not solved.  Its being "looked at"

 

In addition, the instructions to add my company to the "affected user" lists with tracking number INV-12177 does not work.

I agree - I posited this question and certainly haven't received a working answer. This most definitely should not be marked as SOLVED.

Scheduled Reports Failing/UAC issue?

Hi there, Ace2020 and toddsandelier.

 

I got your point, and I would like to help you add as one of the affected users in this investigation. Can you tell me what happens when trying to contact our specialist? Did the Help button doesn't work when trying to do so? If yes, we should be able to contact them as long as during their work schedule.

 

If your QuickBooks is up-to-date and still unable to get in touch with them, we can delete the QBW.ini file in the C: drive on your computer. It could be that the program has been damaged. That's why we're unable to access the Help button or get in touch with our support team.

 

Since you haven't added to the lists and the investigation is still in progress, you can follow the steps to sort it out. Once the company details are added, you'll receive an email update once the information is available for this investigation.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Close QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
  2. Locate C:\ProgramData\Intuit\QuickBooks[Version on your computer.
  3. Delete QBW.ini.
  4. In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings window, tick the Delete personal settings box.
  5. Then, click Reset.

 

Let's restart our computer to ensure that everything reflects. Once QuickBooks is opened, press F1 on your keyboard to avoid experiencing unusual behavior after following the steps above. Then, follow the steps provided by AileenA to contact our support team.

 

Post again if you have follow-up questions. Stay safe and healthy.

The Contact Us button works (i guess)....it sends me to a form to complete.  I fill out the form...It sends me to an authorization page to select images and prove I'm not a robot.  I complete and submit.  Redirects and sends me to a chat window.  It says 5 min wait.  I wait.  No one ever comes to chat window. At some point I realize I really have to get some work done.  I leave the chat. 

 

I am not sure the Contact Us button is not working, as maybe this is the way its supposed to work.

Please remove the SOLVED from this thread.  This issue is not solved and I was on the phone for 4 hours today trying to solve it as well.  This has been an issue for waaaay longer than this thread started.  As with some of the others, the whole "scheduled reports" for this version is WHY I bought it.  GET IT TO WORK OR STOP ADVERTISING IT.
