Description

The following information is for Scan Diagnostic purposes only, and is not indicative of a detected vulnerability.

The scanning user encountered access issues while attempting to gain access to the file system or named pipes via Windows shares on the target system.

Share access is required to gather important data, for Vulnerability and Policy assessments. This includes installed software and policy configuration data. Without share access, scan results will have reduced accuracy.
