# dmidecode 2.12

Solution

This issue arises when the scan engine doesn't have sufficient rights to run DMIdecode, while using sudo, so or  insufficient rights via ssh proxy.

  1. Test the command on the server without the scan engine. Example: Using putty ssh  -t -l nonadminuser -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no 192.168.4.163 'sudo -i'
  2. If the issue is present.
  3. Contact local system admin.
