Discovery wizard won't start

[shockwave]

Hallo,

 

Today I installed SCOM 2012 on my VM. The installation finally succeeded, so the next step was installing the agent on servers. So I started the Discovery Wizard.

 

But everytime I get this error:

The pool managing the instance is not available or the location monitoring object cannot be found.

I've tried with multiple accounts, and also the managed server account. I keep on getting this error.

Extra information:

Date: 29/03/2014 18:52:35

Application: Operations Manager

Application Version: 7.1.10226.0

Severity: Error

Hi ShockWave,

 

Take a look at this post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bff8a86b-a0f3-4d2e-8681-cffa23315fef/the-pool-managing-the-instance-is-not-available-or-the-location-monitoring-object-cannot-be-found-?forum=operationsmanagergeneral

 

I'm not sure if it directly relates, but it mentions a few things to check, like the SQL Server Browser service, the installation of SQL Server (i.e. which Service Pack), Firewall rules, testing connectivity by manually deploying an Agent, checking the Service Accounts used,

I've made this thread on social.technet.

I've made an inbound and outbound rule for port 1434 udp. Still get the same error

Anyone an idea? Maybe some log files I can check?
