You configure only one of the servers as a report server.
You start the report server.
You restart the other server, and then you try to log on to this server.

In this scenario, the logon screen takes several minutes that is not more than 10 minutes to appear. Additionally, the TMG Job Scheduler (Isasched) service stops responding in the startup process.

Notes

This issue occurs on a stand-alone array or on an array managed by Enterprise Management Server (EMS).
