Could not create Windows user token from the credentials specified in the config file

Error: "Could not create Windows user token from the credentials specified in the config file. Error from the operating system 'Logon failure: unknown user... "

This error usually is encountered when either the username / password is not valid for the selected user OR the selected user does not have necessary privilege.

You can add the privileges by following the below steps:

Run - Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Local Security Policy

Choose - Local Policies, User Rights Assignment from the tree

"Act as part of OS" should be the second entry on the right hand pane
