Purpose
Many of the common Shavlik Protect scan errors can be corrected by changes to configuration or environment. This article lists the most common scan error messages and provides some guidance on correcting the issue.
Cause
Scan errors can occur:
- If one or more of the Shavlik Protect Scanning Prerequisites have not been met
- If one or more configuration issues are present in Shavlik Protect
- Due to one or more environmental issues
Resolution
The table below lists the error codes with the known reason or solution. Most scan errors can be resolved by ensuring you are meeting requirements.
Note: You can see the scan errors listed by viewing your scan result under the 'Results' section and viewing the 'Machines Not Scanned' tab of the scan result.
| Error Code | Description |
Error Code 101: Unable to determine System Language | The scan process reads the Windows ntdll.dll file to determine the language of the system. If this file is inaccessible, the prerequisite validation fails and the scan is aborted. See the following document for more information: http://community.shavlik.com/docs/DOC-23310 |
| Error Code 105: MS_UNABLE_TO_GET_SYSTEM_DATA | This issue occurs due to an access denied message at the root of the problem, or due to other enironmental or network related issues. See the following KB: http://community.shavlik.com/docs/DOC-2233 |
| Error Code 200: System not found. Scan not performed. | This indicates that the specified computer was not located and could not be scanned. |
| Error Code 201: System not found. <system error message> | A network problem is preventing the specified machine from being scanned. Check to see that your computer (the scanning machine) is properly connected to the network and that you can remotely logon to the specified machine. |
| Error Code 202: System not found. Scan not performed. | A network or system error occurred while the scan was in process.

See the following KB: http://community.shavlik.com/docs/DOC-2220 |
| Error Code 261: System found but it is not listening on NetBIOS ports. Scan not performed. | A machine exists at this IP address but it is either not listening on, or is blocking access to, TCP ports 139 and 445. |
Error Code 270: Connected to a machine with the wrong hostname or domain name. | Ensure that you are meeting all scanning prerequisites, and that you are able to resolve the target system properly by forward and reverse nslookup. Example: nslookup target_IP_address nslookup target_NetBIOS_name |
| Error Code 301: SystemRoot share access required to scan. | Unable to connect to the remote machine’s system share. This may occur if the administrator has unshared the systemroot (typically C$ or similar) or has disabled the AutoShareServer(Wks) via the registry.
