Issue/Introduction

The following symptoms are commonly seen in conjunction with this scenario: 

- SEPM scheduled reports and notification conditions don't generate, and aren't sent to my Administrator as expected  
- Custom notification conditions don't trigger
- When I log into the SEPM manager, it's successful but yet I still see the following errors:  

The administrator's user name or password is incorrect. Type a valid user name or password.
You cannot access this server from this IP address.

From SEPM > Monitors  > System > Server Activity, the following can be seen:

Environment

On Prem SEPM Manager (SEPM) 14.3 RU8 and later

Cause

Starting with 14.3 RU8, server's with multiple NICs "present" hosting the SEPM manager have observed issues with SEPMs ScheduledReportingTask.

Resolution

Disable any extra NICs that are "present" AND currently "not connected" or "down" to force the SEPM manager to use the NIC that is "up" instead for best results.
