I am unable to discover the host a MID server is running on. The WMI credential works on other windows servers, but fails when tested against the MID server IP. When discovery runs, it stops during classify and the logs show that no credential_id for that host .
I can login to the MID server host with the discovery credential. I can run WMI queries on the host using the credential.
? Is there some reason a MID server cannot discover itself in New York?
? What is the actual test that runs when "test credential" is run?

Confirmed. When I tried a Quick Discovery of MID Server A and specified no specific MID Server to use, Discovery failed with the messages:
- User credentials cannot be used for local connections
- Active, couldn't classify: No WMI connection, now finished
But when I ran Quick Discovery on MID Server A and specified MID Server B as the MID Server to use for the discovery, then Discovery succeeded. Thanks.
