Setting Up Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2 (MBSA 2)
We downloaded MBSA 2 and are having trouble setting it up: it does not accept our computer name, and we don't know its IP Address. Any suggestions?The computer has Windows XP SP2, Internet Explorer 7, and a variety of other software including McAfee Total Protection 2008 and Microsoft Office 2003. We have MBSA 2.0.1.
