Hi
I checked the DART logs and could see the discovery probes to be failing. Hence the issue:

Time out for Ng-Discovery target enroll.cisco.com with path /auth/ng-discovery.

debug unable to send request: 12002.

Status of Ng-Discovery target enroll.cisco.com with path /auth/ng-discovery is 6 <Not Reachable.>.

Usually these are because of connectivity issue. Try and check if any connectivity issue.
Also see if its 1 user or happening for many users.

If the issue is persistant, then maybe open a TAC case to get detailed check.

Regarding your question on "Probing no MNT stage targets" and "Probing MNT stage targets"

All these signify are stage one and stage two discovery.

Stage one (HTTP redirection discovery) would be Probing no MNT stage targets

Stage two (HTTPS redirection less discovery) would be Probing MNT stage targets

We can discard stage two discovery here as I do not believe you're using it based off this log line in the DART -

2023/05/12 11:41:03 [Information] aciseagent Function: SwiftHttpRunner::collectMntTargets Thread Id: 0x122C File: c:\temp\build\thehoff\negasonic_mr20.315584294642\negasonic_mr2\posture\ise\libswift\swifthttprunner.cpp Line: 1174 Level: trace Call Home list is not set in profile..

For your redirection discovery probes, looks like we're getting the WINHTTP error 12152 (The server response cannot be parsed)

Is this happening to multiple users, or only this one? You may want to open a TAC case for further assistance.

For multiple users the problem is I don't have a contract to open a case so this is the problem. Any other idea.
And thanks for the help by the way

Could you share a packet capture when this issue is occuring?

Yes i agree a packet capture from endpoint can give more details or insights.
