In order to run Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) against a remote computer with alternative credentials – such as computers in a perimeter without a trust – you have to either call MBSA from command line or connect to the remote computer using NET USE. Below are shown both alternatives:
Alternative #1 – command line
MBSACLI.EXE /target <server name> /u <username> /p <password>
Alternative #2 – GUI (with net use)
Launch MBSA GUI
Before the scan is started run a Command Prompt as Administrator to specify alternative credentials with NET USE and the remote computer ip-adress.
NOTE: It is important to use Run As Administrator because Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) is also running as administrator!
net use \\<computer-ip> <remote-password> /user:<remote-user>
When this is done Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) can start scanning the remote computer from GUI
