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).

2) Update the Service "ION Report Subscription Service" to run as Network Service and restart this service
Side note: When changing the account to Network Service, no password is needed. Select the Network Service, delete the password that may be in the password fields, leaving them blank and save it.
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).
