Troubleshooting 'NLB is not configured in this Server' error
The following conditions must be met before you can proceed to troubleshoot WMI nodes:
1. The node should have been successfully added via WMI.
2. WMI should be working properly on the remote server.
Using wbemtest.exe to troubleshoot WMI:
1. Open wbemtest.exe, usually located at C:\Windows\System32\wbem\wbemtest.exe
2. From the Applications Manager server, open wbemtest.exe and click Connect.
3. In the Namespace field enter: \\RemoteServerIpAddress\root\MicrosoftNLBxa
4. Provide the required credentials then Click Connect.
If 'Invalid Namespace' error appears, then NLB feature is not installed in that Server. So, install the NLB feature from Server Manager, then configure the NLB Cluster.
5. Once it is connected, click Query. The Query dialog will appear.
6. Run a Query for specific information:
select Name from MicrosoftNLB_Node
If the test was successful and you're still not able to get the NLB details in the Applications Manager web console, then follow the steps. given below:
1. Navigate to <AppManagerHome>\working\conf\application\scripts\ directory in command prompt and execute the below script and enter administrator credentials:
cscript serverNLB.vbs <RemoteHost> <UserName> <Password> > serverNlb.txt
2. Send the serverNlb.txt file to appmanager-support@manageengine.com along with the support information file of Applications Manager.

How to check whether Microsoft NLB is configured in my Windows Server?
1. Ensure that your Windows server version is greater than or equal to 2008. Otherwise NLB is not supported.
2. Type wbemtest in the start menu to open the 'Windows Management Instrumentation Tester'. Use the namespace MicrosoftNLB to connect. If you get an Invalid namespace message, then NLB is not configured in your server. If it gets connected,then Applications Manager will automatically collect the required information.
