  WMI: select SMBIOSBIOSVersion from Win32_BIOS
  If I remove the problems computers from the IP range discovery completes. Any suggestions?

  Hi
  We've got the same experience with almost the same error message.
  As we've got a very large network range with few computers, it's really a pain to perform the complete scan.
  First one who gets the answer lets the other know.
  Cheers

  It could be caused my many different Windows configuration settings. On the hanging computer, try running the wmi diagnostic script from Microsoft listed on this help link: http:/
