On all client computers, after restarting after installing ocs, the ocs service cannot start, it always remains in "starting".
Thank you in advance for your help !

here are the logs on a client computer :

==============================================================================
Starting OCS Inventory Agent on Wednesday, August 25, 2021 08:53:04.
AGENT => Running OCS Inventory Agent Version 2.8.0.0
AGENT => Using OCS Inventory FrameWork Version 2.8.0.0
AGENT => Loading plug-in(s)
AGENT => Using network connection with Communication Server
AGENT => Using Communication Provider <OCS Inventory cURL Communication Provider> Version <2.8.0.0>
AGENT => Sending Prolog
AGENT => Prolog successfully sent
AGENT => Inventory required
AGENT => Launching hardware and software checks
AGENT => Communication Server asks for IpDiscover


I do not see any error?

In fact, the service can start but after a few hours ... Why?

The "last come" date is still updated every time the computers are restarted even 
if the service does not start (and "last inventory" is only updated when the 
service starts when it wants).

Thanks for help !

in fact, i realized that the problem is present only on hyper-v virtual machines.
On the other hand, no problem on Virtualbox virtual machines.
Why this problem on Hyper-v? 
An idea ?

Hi,

it seems that the service start is finalized after each plugin is executed

> This may explain why this is taking a long time - especially if one of the plugins crashes

no that's not it. I tried with or without plugins. 
And to test, on the same virtualized server, it works very well with virtualbox, but not with hyper-v...
