Microsoft Word issue in windows server 2022 with non interactive session

Question

Hi All , we have an application exe that uses Microsoft Word 2016 to generate Word documents and save the files. We are running this exe as a task scheduler in Gen3 Windows server 2022, when we run the scheduler with non-interactive session ( we tried using both service account and local account with when user is not logged in option ) we are getting Microsoft Word error while saving the word file in the server. When we run the exe manually , we are not facing the issue, also this exe is working fine on working fine on task scheduler on Windows server 2012

@Rakshitha H P, please try the following steps to generate a word file by using exe in task scheduler.

First, please install Nuget-package DocumentFormat.OpenXml and use the following code.

   static void Main(string[] args)
   {
       string filePath = @"C:\document.docx";
       
       using (WordprocessingDocument wordDoc = WordprocessingDocument.Create(filePath, DocumentFormat.OpenXml.WordprocessingDocumentType.Document))
       {
           MainDocumentPart mainPart = wordDoc.AddMainDocumentPart();
           mainPart.Document = new Document();
           Body body = new Body();
           mainPart.Document.Append(body);
           
           Paragraph titleParagraph = new Paragraph();
           Run titleRun = new Run();
           titleRun.Append(new Text("This is Title"));
           titleParagraph.Append(titleRun);
           body.Append(titleParagraph);
         
           Paragraph bodyParagraph = new Paragraph();
           Run bodyRun = new Run();
           bodyRun.Append(new Text("This is Content"));
           bodyParagraph.Append(bodyRun);
           body.Append(bodyParagraph);
       }
       Console.WriteLine("Word doc has been generated");
   }

Second, please set the following option to set user account information:(please note that your current user account needs to set administrator power)

Third, please set the exe path in the action:

When you run the task in the task scheduler, the word file will be generated.

Hope my advice could help you.
