@breadtan thanks for such a descriptive text
i would check firewall settings in GPO
I would like you to know the configuration at our side.
The server which has standard Group policy (including firewall policy) created by itself while running SBS configuration wizard.
Server is Windows SBS 2011 Standard (built on Server 2008 R2 platform)
Desktop which can not be scanned are Windows 7 ultimate edition 32-bit
Desktop which can be scanned as expected with same scan are Windows XP SP3 32 bit

Noted thanks. Do not think it is the platform then, so probably it is some service not enabled since Win 7 is supposed to be more secure even than VISTA and XP SP3. Probably can check out any event viewer on any application error log during the scanning. Typically remote access is disabled and commonly failure for MBSA since it need that services...

Ya I found remote registry service was not enabled on any of the systems.
I have issued this command on one test system
sc \\computername start remoteregistry
This was my scan was successful on this test system
Now issue is how to enable remoteregistry service on all the systems using GPO so that I can scan all the systems.
