* When remote racadm takes long time to get server module/free slot information from CMC or DRAC/MC device, SCOM may terminate the "CMC Slot Discovery" and "DRAC/MC Slot Discovery" scripts. As a result, you will see "Script or Executable failed to Run" alert in the SCOM Alerts View and some files will be left over in the %windir%\Temp\ChassisRemoteAccess_Logs directory on the management station managing the CMC or DRAC/MC device. You can ignore the alert and manually remove the temporary files.
