Scope Enumeration Issues

When selecting scopes in an on-premises discovery such as NTFS or Active Directory, the credentials in use determine the available scopes. Depending on your discovery, you may be:

If you are using alternate credentials, and no scopes are available, this may indicate a DNS issue. Ensure the credentials you are using are fully qualified.

Data Collection Issues

You may run into situations where not all of your data is collected, or even no data is collect at all. The first thing you need to determine is what tasks in the discovery are failing. Once you have located the problem tasks, you can use the errors and statistics generated to pinpoint the problem.

There are several other things that you can examine:

During an Active Directory discovery, if collection issues are related to overloaded domain controllers, disable Create multiple tasks for each domain and specify multiple domain controllers for the domain instead. For details, see AD Discovery: Optionally select one or more domain controllers .
The node may not have access to that server. Check your credentials, and change them if necessary. For details, see Node credential and alternate credential details for on-premises discoveries .
