One of my 3 servers are showing up as an unknown.<\/p>\n
The Server in question is the DC with Exchange.<\/p>\n
The Error Message spiceworks is getting is “There was a Windows authentication error when attempting to connect to this device.”<\/p>\n
i followed the troubleshooting and used the command to test WMI<\/p>\n
c:\\ wmic /user:username /password:yourpassword /node:remotemachine\n systemenclosure get serialnumber\n\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThis command worked and gave me the serial number of the machine. which confirms the user/pass is correct.<\/p>\n
not sure where to go from here.<\/p>\n
thanks in advance.<\/p>","upvoteCount":2,"answerCount":4,"datePublished":"2010-01-27T15:58:14.000Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"ianhinspeter5862","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/ianhinspeter5862"},"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"
That is indeed odd. The WMI worked when run on the SpiceWorks server itself?<\/p>\n
I would try deleting the machine and having it picked up fresh.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2010-01-28T03:52:15.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/scan-error-dc/40574/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"scottalanmiller","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/scottalanmiller"}},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

Hi,<\/p>\n
i did get it working,<\/p>\n
i have removed the machine from the list and changed the user logged into the machine which runs spiceworks. i also changed the credentials to FQDN.<\/p>\n
im not sure which one worked but i think it was the change in user that was logged in that did it.<\/p>\n
i will do further testing.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2010-01-28T21:35:32.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/scan-error-dc/40574/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"ianhinspeter5862","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/ianhinspeter5862"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
