Issue
To identify that mapped drives can not be scanned in Datacenter
Resolution
Agent scan groups scan ONLY fixed drives on target machines. Mapped drives are not considered as fixed drives and are skipped during an agent scan.

In Grid scan groups, when specifying paths to scan, you can include full paths or UNC paths, but not mapped drives. (Mapped drives are valid only for the session of the user that creates them and therefore can not be used)

Workaround for Grid scans: Use UNC paths to the drive that needs to be scanned
