I have SCVMM 2012 R2 running on Windows Server 2012 R2; the host servers are 2012 R2 as well. I have established a baseline and done compliance scans without issue in the past. However, I have now added additional items into the baseline and now, after a long timeout period, get the following when I try to do a compliance scan on any host.
Error (2931)
VMM is unable to complete the request. The connection to the VMM agent on the virtualization server (host.domain.com) was lost.
Unknown error (0x80338029)
Recommended Action
Ensure that the Windows Remote Management (WS-Management) service and the VMM agent are installed and running and that a firewall is not blocking HTTPS traffic.
This can also happen due to DNS issues. Try and see if the server (host.domain.com) is reachable over the network and can be looked up in DNS. You can ping the virtualization server from VMM management server and make sure that the IP address returned matches the IP address locally obtained from the virtualization server.
If the error still persists, restart the virtualization server, and then try the operation again.
The firewall is disabled on the SCVMM server and the host servers. I have verified there are no DNS issues and that WS-Management is running. I have rebooted all servers. I have even removed the baseline and created an entirely new baseline, but always get the same error. Anyone seen this issue?
