Team,
I have created local admin account svcacct_discovery on a (Windows 2016 host) and I am trying to validate credential. For some reason credentials doesn't validate.
During trouble shooting, I tested PING, Telnet, and RDP from MID server to this host and all test passes, but from Servicenow instance credentials doesn't validate.
Any other tips/clue which I am missing. Please help me out.
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi,
I'd recommend trying a few of these support articles/forum posts for assistance:
https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0657528
https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0676313
This is probably a firewall issue and so you'd need to validate that. The third link I posted, if you scroll towards the bottom, has some additional ports to consider opening.
Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!

Hi Shloke,
I can Ping, Telnet, and RDP from the MID server to this host without any issue. Also the account is member of Local Admin group.
I will try by appending Workgroup and let you know.
Thanks.

I appended WORKGROUP and also tried with .\ but still no luck.
Can you please let me know if it logs error message while doing credentials validation?
I can look in to that log to find out what's going on.
Thanks.
