    I've been able to verify the licenses status of over 60 computers in our network with this nifty little tool. However, I'm still having a few workstations come back with results of "The network path was not found. "

    I've read the available documentation from MS, and searched google for results on this specific problem, but the closest I got was Experts Exchange demanding a payment for the answer and MS wanting to charge me $200+ because I was trying to run it on our server. TechNet also came up zeroes for me.

    The search is configured wrong, or I'm just incapable of finding this... Anyone familiar with this software, and can help me with this head-scratcher?

    <headdesk> I don't even open those links... Maybe I should. Let me go try that.

    I went to the computer and put that all in the command prompt. It told me "OK." and then I ran MSIA again, for that computer only. It returned the following error:

    MSIA could not resolve the entry below to the machine.
    [Machine Name]
    Do you wish to proceed with these entry for scan?


    I'm just going to cancel and try the IP address in MSIA first.

    . . .

    Same results for the IP address.
