Running 'Intel® Driver & Support Assistant' fails with message 'Scan Error'

The detail of the Scan Failure message says:

"Failed to scan system for updates. Please click "Refresh Results" to try again."

 

I have tried running it using Chrome, Firefox and Edge - same result.

Uninstalled the app and installed a fresh copy from intel website - same error.

Confirmed the services related to the assistant are running.

I have a 2nd identical server which is having the same problem.

 

Screenshot of error attached.

Results of System Support Utility scan attached.

 

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Hello JohnPFW


Thank you for posting on the Intel Communities. I am sorry you are experiencing issues when trying to use Intel® Driver & Support Assistant on your system,


Based on the log files that you provided you are using an Intel® Server and Windows Server 2012, the hardware as well as the Operating System are not supported by the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant, and drivers are not provided for these products through this tool. Our recommendation is to use the Download Center to update your drivers.


Please check the following article for more information:
