SYMPTOMS
The following error message may be reported in the Netdisc.log file every 30 seconds. It may appear that Network Discovery is looping:

If this message is followed by the following message, the problem is probably not the problem that is described in this article:

ADM: Returning busy from idle status due to  thread being busy.



CAUSE
