Invalid credentials

'Invalid credentials' is one of the possible network status values that can be returend for a machine after running a machine audit or a network scan. You might receive this error if :

1. You supplied an incorrect username or password in the credentials for the network (in the network details dialog for the the network that the machine is connected to).
   
2. The username that you supplied in the credentials for the network is for a user that does not have access to the WMI service on the machine(s) that you are trying to audit. For example, it could be that you have supplied the name of a local user (e.g. "administrator") rather than that of a domain user (such as "yourdomain\administrator"), even though the domain administrator has access to the WMI service, or it could simply be that the username that you provided is for a user that doesn't have sufficient privilleges.
   
3. Perhaps you specified an Authority in the credentials for the network that the machine is connected to, where you should not have (or the authority is not specified correctly). Typically you shouldn't need to specify anything in the Authority field.
