Discovery causing high cpu levels with running process wsmprovhost.exeDescription After running Discovery on a Windows device (VM or not), the target device is left with a running process called "wsmprovhost.exe". This process consumes high amount of CPU resources. If Discovery is ran again on that device, another instance of that process is created and that one also consumes high CPU resources. Eventually it will cause that target device to crash. The only way you are able to remove those processes is to restart the host server. Release or EnvironmentWindows ServersCauseThis usually happens because Powershell is running to establish a remote session between the MID server and the target Windows server. This will happen if the .NET version and Powershell version on the target server are not compatible. You can test this my logging into the target server and running the following command: C:\Users\admin>powershell.exe --help If it returns something like this then you have this problem: Windows PowerShell terminated with the following error: The type initializer for 'System.Management.Automation.Tracing.PSEtwLog' threw an exception. ResolutionYou will need to patch your Windows servers so that the Powershell and .NET versions are compatible.
