PasswordState service generating errors in eventviewer

[Emil Gullbrandsson]

Hi support,

 

We're experience the below error in the application event log on the PasswordState server when we're running a "Account Discovery" (Windows Local Admin Accounts Discovery):

Any suggestions?

Hi Emil,

 

We're not sure what this could be at this stage, we may have to get you to emails us screenshots of your discovery job to supportclickstudios.com.au so we can see how it is set up.

 

If you run the discovery job manually, do you get the same error?  To run a job manually, go to Administration -> Powershell Scripts -> Account Discoveries, and run the script from the Actions Menu:

 

 

You can add one host per line when running a job manually, do you have many hosts you are querying in your discovery job?

 

Regards,

Support

Hello,

 

Sure, I'll send you a screenshot of the discovery job!

I have been able to collect around 530 servers but now it just generates the error after running for about 18 minutes..  

 

I have about 1000 hosts I'm querying.
