digsaw Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Was wondering if it is possible to scan XP Embedded Thin Clients. Getting RPC Unavailable when I try. Firewall is off on them and WMI is enabled. And I get successful connectiosn to WMI remotely. Admin password is not blank. Admin shares are present. Didn't check the simple file sharing yet. I know that can be another issue. But wasn't sure if this was a no go operating systen. Quote
Support Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Windows XP Embedded should be possible to scan if it doesn't work in terminal client mode. There may be some remote access security issues, same with Windows XP Professional. First I would suggest to try to change the connection method (go to "Options - Connection", set "Connection method" to "Auto-deployed agent" and uncheck the option "Try another method"), then try to scan again. This method should give more understandable error messages, if any. Also please check out our FAQ for common issues with remote access: https://docs.softinventive.com/tni/faq/ Quote
digsaw Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Posted October 23, 2009 Thanks for the help. It gave me a different error now. Its weird, they ping, they connect, they claim to be copying files and installing the service, they say retreiving data and cleaning up and then I get the error "Data File Was Not Generated". Any idea on that one? Quote
digsaw Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Posted October 23, 2009 I found another post that recommended to try using the "Agent Less" option. That one eventually comes back and says "Connection Lost" on all those XP Embedded Thin Clients. Quote
Support Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 It means that those systems don't implement necessary WMI namespaces (fully or partially) and this doesn't allow the program to scan them. Quote
