ServiceNow Discovery Getting Stuck in the “Identifying” Phase

[amarkhade]

Hi everyone,
I’m running Discovery for the first time on a new ServiceNow instance, and I’m running into an issue where the process gets stuck at the Identification phase.

In the Discovery log I consistently see the message:
“Classified, now Identifying”
…but it never moves forward from there.

Has anyone encountered this before or can suggest what I should check?
So far, I’ve verified the MID Server is up and validated, and credentials are configured, but the scan still doesn’t progress beyond the Identification step.

Any guidance or troubleshooting steps would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi @Sarthak Kashyap,

Thank you for your reply, but this step did not work as I am trying to discover a Windows server.

Thanks,
