Are you sure you didn't have any config errors to start with?

Run the Write Config Tool to verify configuration. Once you verify you don't have any config errors, delete the old scan jobs in the Auto-Discovery, and run a new scan.

Note: You can run it against one IP for faster results.

Select "ALL" or "Common" and proceed with the rest of the steps. See if config will fail again.

I am sure that There is no config error before starting the wizard.

as you see, https service has no "use blaa blaa service" so it gives error

I sent you PM. Let me know if your issue has been resolved. Thank you!

Thank you lmiltchev,

it worked.
Auto discovery is able to set all check commands now.

Great! I can confirm this works on my end too, on a fresh install of XI 2014 R1.0 with the wizard updated.

Safe to close this thread now?

Yes. lmiltchev has sent me the auto discovery wizard by PM.

After installing it, the problem has gone.

You can close this topic.

thanks.
