Troubleshooting Agents Showing Error State – ControlUp Discussion
The discussion revolves around troubleshooting why agents show an error state in the web console every morning, despite being installed on nonpersistent machines with the ONLYSTARTONBOOT and REGISTERBYMACHINENAME options. When looking into the event viewer, an agent was discovered to have started offline with Event ID 98. A member suggests that the terms being used refer to the physical device agent/product, while the .NET console and auto connect are for the virtual/vdi agent/product, prompting a clarification about the intended use of the agents. The end goal is to utilize the reporting within the VDI portion. Assistance is offered to the user if needed.
