Thank you for posting this to the MBSA newsgroup.
This issue is caused by File and Print Sharing not being enabled - which is
called out in the MBSA help file as a prerequisite. Enable File and Print
Sharing (which enables the required Server service) and the problem should
be resolved. I hope that helps...

Post by Arne TApologies, the subject should have said, the error message was "Could not
resolve the computer name: \*error*. Please specify computer name,
domain\computer, or an IP address."
Also I have missed out the verb below(!), I meant to say, can anyone explain
how to get MBSA to scan the local machine it is already running on?!
