Hi I recently installed MSBA 2.2 on Windows 7 Ultimate N. I logged on as a regular user to scan a domain controller on the domain. Of course this did not work since I need domain admin privileges. I then open a command prompt as administrator and went to where the mbsa.exe is installed. I then do a runas with a domain admin account but I get the following error message: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2>runas /user:mydomain.com\adminandre mbsa.exe Enter the password for mydomain.com\adminandre: Attempting to start mbsa.exe as user "mydomain.com\adminandre" ... RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - mbsa.exe 740: The requested operation requires elevation. Can someone tell me how to run the MBSA with elevated privileges as domain admin so I can can the DC? Also, I have available SCOM, SCCM, Forefront products. Can someone tell me if any of these or any other MS product can do the same as MBSA or better since I am going to run MBSA on all my machines in the Enterprise? Thanks. - Andre

Login to the system with domain admin credentials. Right click and run as administrator. That should do it.Bartman
