Basically we have PCs in domain, when we run the scan, error comes up saying Windows Firewall or permission error on 4 machines. I have read few articles about it, but not able to fix the problem. If you help us to identify machines, I will manually turn off/disable firewalls. Can you help please ?

what scan ? are you referring to spiceworks ?

Also I assume you are trying to run Spiceworks Network Scan and some of the devices are not scanning

What scan are you running that shows there are errors?

The devices should show the errors, or you can look at your error buckets under /scan. This thread here has a lot of good information on resolving scan issues. It’s a bit hard, but generally, once you figure out one system, it should work for the rest if your systems are all identical.

G ood luck.

If you have a domain admin account you can use for all the domain computers, the scan should work using those credentials. Making sure the Windows firewall is disabled should help, too.
