Problem With episerver Scheduler while running automatically.
You cannot use HttpContext.Current when it runs automatically, cause you don't have one. You have to use another approach. A setting or something to choose which account to impersonate.

You can programmatically set the user by calling:
PrincipalInfo.CurrentPrincipal = PrincipalInfo.CreatePrincipal("userName");

In that case you can configure the schedular service to run under another account instead. See http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/controlling-windows-services-service-accounts.html.
