Google that error and it's fairly common. >From a NG post by one of the main MBSA dudes at MS- Since any error reported by MBSA 2.0 in the format "0xNNNNNNNN" is actually a WSUS/Microsoft Update error code, you may want to examine Windows Update to ensure it is working as expected.

Also seen it attributed to firewall or other "hardening" configs. From- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/cc184922.aspx MBSA 2.1 Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why am I seeing error "Could not resolve the computer name: name. Please specify computer name, domain\computer, or an IP address."? This error is common when scanning based on an IP address range. This is because MBSA will convert the range into a list of specific IP addresses for that range and attempt to resolve each IP address into the associated NetBIOS computer name. When that name resolution cannot be performed because the computer is switched off, or the IP address is not in use, this error will be returned. The error can also happen when using a domain name of domain members are not accessible on the network, such as a laptop computer roaming outside the wireless network, or a desktop computer that has been shut down. If you specify a DNS fully qualified domain name (FQDN) as the domain to be scanned, you will also see these errors. In that case, you need to use the NetBIOS compatible domain name.

Has anyone ran into this issue? I'm using an account that has admin rights but when trying to scan a range of addresses I receive name resolution errors. Any suggestions? We are having no DNS issues on domain. Nslookup works just fine.
