Hello everyone. Can you help me with the following configuration problem. System management server throws an error " Service Watchdog_Service failed to start in the specified wait time".

I try to install clear machine with Windows Server 2025 Standard in Domain with Active Directory.

When i try install Plant Scada 2023R2 on Administrator Account this popup occurs.

Hi Sebastian ,

I installed Plant SCADA 2023 R2 on Windows Server 2025, and it installed and runs fine.

It is ambiguous in your previous post, did you try install this on a machine that is a domain controller?

This is not officially supported. Please see TN 000035267 for details.

Please note that Plant SCADA 2023 R2 is officially supported on Windows Server 2025. See Tech Matrix:

If you experience any issues, please raise a support ticket to get it investigated further.

Kind regards

Olivier

So if it is not officially supported in domain AD the only option is use workgroup and RDS CAL per Device when i use also Access Anywhere ?

I have installation  where i have  Windows Server 2025 Standard and RDS CAL per User (Domain AD), but I installed everything first in the workgroup and then i install Active Directory. Plant SCADA installed before install AD without a mistake and Access Anywhere too and everything work correctly.

When I try install Plant Scada on clear machine when i have installed Domain Active Directory then i have this error with watchdog.

Plant SCADA does support running in a domain, but you cannot install Plant SCADA on the server that acts as Domain Controller.
