Title
Nodes are showing as enabled but no tasks within the discovery are being assigned (discovery may also be stuck in Pending status) -
Description
The nodes are enabled but not accepting tasks. This can mean that if the cluster has multiple nodes, only some nodes are working on tasks while other nodes are not processing any tasks or all nodes may not be accepting/processing tasks which causes the entire discovery to be stuck in a "Pending" status. -
Cause
The Windows Server where the node is installed may need to install the latest Microsoft patches. -
Resolution
WORKAROUND #1:
Check the status of pending patches within Windows Updates on the Windows Server where the node service is installed. Ensure .Net 4.5.2 is installed and all the latest Windows Updates are installed (especially .Net related), reboot the server and then run another discovery.
WORKAROUND #2:
Go to the properties of the node within the Configuration Manager and ensure a service account is specified.
