Sudden change in automated scan results

Hello Shavlik,

My Shavlik runs a scan every Thursday and today, the 'machines not scanned' turned up a number of machines that failed for this reason: "

smachNotFoundReason, FieldValue , FieldType None, DefaultValue." When I look at the scan report, it lists the machine name followed by an IP address. In my scan job, I only use the machine name. These scans have run routinely for months, so I was quite surprised to get these results. Weirder still, the folks who use those machines are here and logged in.

Can you point me in the direction of why this might suddenly occur? Last week's scan results only 'missed' machines I knew were not in use.

Thanks very much.
