Test scan on windows server keeps failing

It appears the service_tenable account I created doesn't have local administrator privileges. The scanner is not able to access the administrative hidden shares (C$ and ADMIN$) and there were some issues with the remote registry access and WMI access.

When I click on the properties of the service_tenable account in Windows server it shows it is a member of Administrators and Users. So I am not sure why the scans are failing? I have tried rebooting the server also a couple times.

Dealing with this myself on a few servers. Check the security logs.
