Hi - I've been asked to run MBSA 2.1 against our Windows Servers from a
Windows XP PC. All clients/servers are in a domain environment. I'm logging
onto to the XP machine as a domain user with local admin rights. When running
MBSA against one of our servers, I receive the following error 'User is not
an administrator on the scanned machine'. I realize this is a daft question,
but does the logged in account on the XP machine need to be a domain
administrator? If so, this may not be possible. Is there another way round
this issue. I need to successfully run the software but would struggle
getting domain admin access. I look forward to your responses. Regards
