Resolution:

If a Linux scan node is in use:

• A user account must meet the following requirement:
  • Local user account added to the Administrators group
• Run the following PowerShell command on the target Windows computer to allow basic WinRM authentication:
  • winrm set winrm/config/service/auth '@{Basic="true"}'
• Ensure that DNS resolution is working fine. Check if scanning target using IP only works.
