After many months of successfully running Microsoft Windows Server Solutions Best Practice Analyzer 1.2 via Task Scheduler, we recently started to receive the following errors in our Detailed Network Reports on the server:
Best Practices Analyzer Engine
Warning condition: An error occurred while the computer was performing a Windows Server Solutions BPA scan. For information about the error, review the log file at %installation folder%\wssgbpa.log, or manually run Windows Server Solutions BPA.
I located an article suggesting to change the Task Scheduled to run as an administrator instead of as "System". After changing the task properties the BPA scan would perform as expected for a couple months.
Last week we stared to see the error again:
Best
Warning condition: An error occurred while the computer was performing a Windows Server Solutions BPA scan. For information about the error, review the log file at %installation folder%\wssgbpa.log, or manually run Windows Server Solutions BPA.
Now we can not run the BPA scan manually. We receive the error:
Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer was not able to obtain the results or data successfully. There has been a Best Practice Analyzer error for Model Id 'WSSGBPA'. The Result file has not yet been generated. Please perform the scan first and try again.
We have uninstalled both BPA and the Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer 2.0, and reinstalled using the default setting, and still receive the same error message when running BPA manually and receive an error (0xFFFFFFFF) when the BPA task schedule runs at night.
Server Info:
Running Windows SBS 2011 Standard SP1
