The console hangs when attempting to expand the collectors node.

cause
Too many domain controllers are assigned to the built-in collector.

fix

When enabling event monitoring for your domain controllers, consider the following guidelines:

• Have at least one collector for each site in the organization.
• The built-in collector included with the server component should monitor no more than five domain controllers.
• One standalone collector can monitor up to 20 domain controllers. If you exceed this recommended limit, you may experience performance issues.
