Report Subscription
Cause
There are two causes for this issue:
Resolution
1) Update SubscriptionRenderer.exe.config 
3) Restart IIS and ION Application Core service (that will force all the ION Application services to restart)
This will allow the report to be delivered by email for the windows users (active directory).
Additional Information
This may be addressed by the future release of a software cumulative update (CU2).
