Environment

NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager 6.0

Situation

An error occurs when running the SCAP-NB-Win2008R2-DC v1.0 - NB_Win2008R2_DC template against a Windows 2008R2 server.  All checks in the template give the error "The agent cannot run the specified SCAP policy template because it cannot resolve the Core Services computer name.  Ensure the Core Services computer IP address is specified in the agent properties"
Even when you put the core ip address in the properties you still get the same message.

Resolution

1. Rename all the files so that they don't contain any space.
2. Rename all occurrences of "NB Win2008R2 DC"
 to "NB-Win2008R2-DC" in NB-Win2008R2-DC-cpe-dictionary.xml and NB-Win2008R2-DC-xccdf.xml files.
3. Import the xccdf file to xccdf conversion utility.

Cause

The spaces in the file name are being read incorrectly
