i am getting this error after a network scan:

Authentication failed for user
This user doesn’t have the proper credentials required to access this machine.

I am using a domain admin account to run the network scan, and i can access some of the devices like servers and other devices. Main issue is around network scan for PCs.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

thanks

I would check the PCs have domain admins account in the local administrators group. And check the scan settings, is the domain account in the format domain\username

Tray with local administrator account. If this not help change domain administrator group.

more than likely firewall issues - if using windows firewall here’s my little GPO you can push out…

and of course Jay’s excellent general how-to for resolving scan issues…

Same problem. Except we are on a peer-2-peer workgroup. All XP boxes report fine. All Windows 7 fail. No firewall.
