Online - A data fetch failure occurred

Question

Recently checked the server and suddenly found an error, but don't know how to solve it?

Answer 1

Hello there,

Most of the time this happens when either WSMAN is not configured correctly (PowerShell Remoting) or you don't have enough permissions to query the server.

If the data fetch is related to a specific application or service, ensure that the data source is operational and accessible.

Have you checked the Event Viewer for any trace?

If you cannot find anything in Event Viewer I would suggest you use tools like Procmon to find the root cause for this behaviour.

Check if any firewall or security software on the server is blocking the data fetch process. Ensure that the necessary ports and protocols are open for data communication.

Hope this resolves your Query !!
