What is a potential problem during the Classification phase?

In the Classification phase of ServiceNow Discovery, a potential problem arises when inaccurate credentials prevent access to devices. This phase is crucial as it involves identifying and classifying configuration items (CIs) within the IT environment. Access is typically required to gather necessary data, which helps in correctly identifying these items.

If the credentials provided for accessing a device are incorrect or do not have the necessary permissions, it can prevent the system from retrieving vital information. Consequently, this could lead to incomplete or inaccurate classification of CIs, which may hamper the overall discovery process and result in a flawed or unreliable configuration database. Proper credential management and validation are essential to ensure smooth access to all devices during the discovery operations.
