I'm getting this error nightly on a particular server in the even viewer and I can't seem to figure out how to resolve this issue.  The error is below.

==========

Error:

A scheduled discovery task was not started because the previous task for that discovery was still executing.

Discovery name: Microsoft.Windows.Server.2008.Computer.Discovery

Instance name: <my bad server>.xxxxxxxx.com

Management group name: <xxxxxxx>

==========

This particular server has been having some issues of not receiving an updated OpsMgrConnector.Config.xml file and I feel this may be a reason why.  Ive renamed the Health Service State folder a few times and I feel this has not resolved the issue.  Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Some similar thread, you can try to increase the discovery time:

SCOM_guy24 - was this ever resolved for you?  Setting a discovery to longer than 24 hours does not seem like an appropriate solution...

Thanks!

Hello,

I am also seeing this exact error, but what's even more unusual is that I'm seeing it on Servers running Windows Server 2012 R2.

This discovery runs once every 24 hours by the looks of it.  I don't see how increasing discovery time will address this. Please can someone in the SCOM team look into this?  I think there's a bug in how the discovery script runs and how it 'exits' when Windows 2008 operating system is not found.

Thank you,
