Hi,
We are running SCOM 2012 R2 and we have been frequently noticing the alert "Operations Manager failed to start a process" generating from a couple of Servers.
Alert Descriptions:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forced to terminate the following process started at 9:51:16 AM because it ran past the configured timeout 300 seconds.
Command executed: "C:\Windows\system32\cscript.exe" /nologo "GetSQL2016DBFileGroupFreeSpace.vbs" "servername\sqlinstancename" "FQDN" "sqlinstancename" "1114" "1048576" "0"
Working Directory: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Monitoring Agent\Agent\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 750\740\
One or more workflows were affected by this.

We have manually run the VB scripts mentioned in the alert descriptions (GetSQL2016DBFileGroupFreeSpace.vbsand GetSQL2016DBFilesFreeSpace.vbs) and it seems to run without any error.
![]()
Note: These alerts are mostly generating from SQL Servers and only these two VB Scripts (GetSQL2016DBFileGroupFreeSpace.vbsand GetSQL2016DBFilesFreeSpace.vbs) are failing (timing out). Also each of these SQL Servers are running more than 150 Databases. How can we fix this issue. Thanks, Sreejeet
