SCOM 2012 exception error when trying to run Lync 2013 synthetic transactions


Error: An exception occurred during discovery script, Exception: Could not connect to SQL server. Discovery did not succeed. Monitoring may fail if discovery data's initial state was not available. Please check alert context for details.

To resolve ensure your synthetic transaction watcher node is a member of the RTCUniversalReadOnlyAdmins group. Then try fully restarting SCOM and the synthetic node. This typically will fix the issue.
