MIP on-premise scanner completed and showing lot of errors
Hello ANAND_SUNKA,
Here is some reasoning to the error messages that might be helpful in your case,
"Protecting empty Office files is not supported, BadInputErro - This could be because the file does not have any content, like a 0KB file.
"OpenFile failed, message: 'XMPFiles: No smart file handler available to handle file' - Since this XMP could be metadata files, it's possible the scanner excludes this to prevent from changing files that are critical.
"Failed to get metadata, Invalid MS property stream header, - This could be possible if the file is corrupted or has unrecognized header or it is part of a compound files by apps, preventing AIP scanner to read it.
"Failed to open/create root storage, not a valid compound file, Problems reading directory - Compound files are structured storage files that contain multiple streams and storages within a single file, often used by applications to store complex data. Could be possible this is corrupted or not able to access because of the file types/permissions.
"The file has been protected using non RMS technologies - Not sure if there are any other solutions in place that is preventing the scanner from accessing the file.
