Troubleshooting Scheduled Scans on ControlUp

Posted on April 25, 2024

A user was having trouble running a scheduled scan for a specific device on ControlUp. Another user suggested checking if the last connection was successful and found that the VMware Tools update had failed. Upon installing and rebooting the tools, the scan was able to successfully run.
