The RPC server is unavailable

Errors occur either randomly or all the time with the following error text.

The RPC server is unavailable

Cause

The most common cause for this problem is that the remote registry of the monitored machine is either stopped or has experienced problems accepting new connections.

Resolution/workarounds

  • Restart the remote registry service of the monitored object.
  • Review the objects overall performance. The object might be too busy to serve more connections.
  • Use the Alarm filtering features in the monitor to filter out non-threshold errors.
  • Check the DNS entry for the monitored object, confirm that both a forward and reverse zone entry exists.
