Error: Failed to Copy Remote Distributed Modules

Symptoms​

Both of the following symptoms are present in your Netwrix Auditor Event Log Manager (ELM) environment:

  • The Health Log prompts the following error message:
Failed to copy remote distributed modules.  
Error details: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
  • ELM is set to audit both a domain OU and the servers within that OU by IP address.

Cause​

ELM audits the same server twice. This causes duplicates of the audit logs in the Netwrix Auditor ELM monitoring plan.

Resolution​

Refer to one of the following options to resolve the issue:

  • Review the list of monitored computers. Remove the IP ranges and only audit OUs.

  • Review the list of monitored computers. Remove the OU and only audit target IP address ranges.
