HP Support KM00228735: PC 11.5 – Task ID Timeout Failure

HP Support has released knowledge base article (KM00228735) to deal with Tasks that timeout on PC 11.5 and higher. The problem is encountered when a health check on a Host machine fails with the following error message

“Failure Timeout: Task with ID <xxxx> has failed to finish during the expected time.”

The task will be marked as a failed task.

This is usually a problem with a service not running on the host, or having incorrect permissions on the host. First, check all the services to ensure they are running. Check for these specific services:

• Remote Management Agent Service
• Performace Center Loadtesting Service

If all the services are running, the same error remains, perform the following:

• Right click on each service–> properties–> Logon tab–>
• Ensure Local system account is selected
• Ensure that “Allow service to interact with desktop” is selected

If these steps do not solve your problem, contact HP support directly.
