SYMPTOMS
The advertisement of the Software Update Inventory Scan Tools (Scanwrapper.exe) in Microsoft System Management Server (SMS)does not work, and you may receive the following SMS status message:

Message ID:11406, Component: Software Update Scan Tool

Scan Component Failed(type=MBSA): probably due to a schema change or WMI error.

The Software Updates class for SMS clients may either not be present within the Resource Explorer, or contain out of date information.

The Advanced Client may not execute further advertisements



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the SMS Advanced client is installed to a folder path that contains a space. For example, the following path contains a space:

C:\Program Files\SMSClient

When you run Scanwrapper.exe on this folder, Scanwrapper.exe cannot run the Mofcomp.exe utility. Therefore, Scanwrapper.exe returns a failure error message to the SMS site server.
