Question : Exchange server cannot be contacted. When running Best Practices Analyzer

I am trying to run a Health Check with a Performance Baseline check from Microsoft Exchange Best Practices Analyzer.  The report comes back very quickly telling me that Exchange server cannot be contacted
Exchange server Server1 is down or unreachable.  This could be the result of a network or permissions problem. Error: The network path was not found.

I am then directed to this link:

Im sure the server is up and on the network because clients are able to get in and receive email.  I can ping the server, the firewall is not turned on, the Remote Registry service is on, and the account that is running the Exchange Server Analyzer Tool is in both the Enterprise Admin and Exchange Organization Administrator group.  Im not sure what else need to be done to run this baseline tool.

Thank You

Sorry... you posted this in the Small Business Server Zone, so that's what I had assumed.
