SAS EG error. The local security Authority cannot be contacted.

I have an EG scheduled tasks which has stopped running. The error message is that the local security Authority cannot be contacted. The details are as follows. Can anybody help?

Looks like you can't connect to the SAS metadata server. Have you by any chance just changed your Windows password? In any case I suggest you try rescheduling the tasks to see if that fixes the problem.
