__acro_subst_user__ continually gets locked out

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I have recently deployed Acronis BR10 and am using a centralized managment console. I am having multiple issues with the _acro_subst_user_ account in that it keeps getting locked out. Even when unlocked any backup tasks or policy assignments fail with a bad password error. Specifially, I was able to erform one policy assignment directly after install but since then the jobs fail and so do further assisgnments. Below is a sample log. I assume the logon failure is regarding the _acro_subst_user_ account as the service account does not recieve any logon failure or lockouts.

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for using Acronis Products

Cause

Acronis Agent installation automatically creates the __acro_subst_user__ local user for network share browsing.

For the purpose of running Acronis Managed Machine Service, Acronis Agent installation either offers to create automatically a new local account: Acronis Agent User by default, or to use the existing account (note that a domain administrator account is preferable in domain environments). 

The error occurs if any of these accounts does not have the Log on as a service security right. During the installation, the respective security policy is defined automatically in User Rights Assignment on the local machine. But if the machine with installed Acronis Agent is included into domain, then there might be a defined domain policy that overrides the Local Security Policy setting and removes the required users from the Log on as a service policy.
