Pierre-Arnauld,
 
I would lean to the tendency that this is somewhat normal.  If your target is a 
Windows 2003 machine, it is likely that this check is not expecting what it is 
dealing with on that OS type.  I say this because this is a UNIX check.
 
The affected platforms for this check are:
 
IRIX: Any version, HP-UX: Any version, BSD: Any version, Linux: Any version, 
Solaris
 
If your 2003 server is running DNS, it is possible that it is still trying to 
run, but it is a check that if not screened off by Dynamic Check Assignment, 
should be opted out on this target for your scan.  You can run it anyway, and 
the check may time out and the scan complete, but if the check is not intended 
for the OS it is being run on, times can vary due to this reason.
 
Take a look at you scan log for this scan parsing it for this check and see 
what it is reporting back in the form of progress when this happens.
 
The other point to note is that although the GUI may be indicating that a check 
is being run, it does not mean that the check is being run singly.  Other 
variables in the scan may be taking place, which can cause the overall time to 
increment.  How long did the entire L5 Server scan take?

Hello everyone,

I am scanning one server with a L5 Server policy with a Internet Scanner
7.0 SP2 (XPU level 5).
The target server is a windows 2k3.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal to have this check (zonexfer) running
more than 30 minutes ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards.
