Hi, in our SharePoint 2016 On-Prem instance, the Nintex Synchronization timer job keeps failing:

Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)). 

 

We have a dedicated Domain accoint that is used for the SharePoint Timer Service (which apparently runs the timer jobs), and that account now has been added to the Farm Administrators group in SharePoint (to try and solve this), and that account is also an Admin on both app and database servers, as well as sysadmin privileges in SQL Server. Where else can I try to solve this? SharePoint Log isn’t any better, just says Access Denied. Here it is, 2023, and Microsoft can’t simply add the name of what’s denying access in the error message?? Oy!

So i changed the SharePoint Timer Service account to the Farm Admin account and it now works. I had wanted a dedicated account for that but must have missed something. Anyway, solved.
