So the options are either to use batch mode with the Windows scheduler
for NessusWX or using the regular Nessus client with the batch-mode
option, right? Keeping a session tied up while the scan is running is
not an option for us, since we all use laptops and take them with us
everywhere we go. Not being able to run detached scans makes things
more complicated and more difficult for non-technical people to run
scans. We had planned on having non-technical people run the scans and
then the more technical people review the reports. I, myself, like
being able to go through the GUI, piece by piece, and when I get
everything set like I want it, start the scan and let it send me email
when it's finished.
But don't misunderstand me - Nessus is still a fantastic product. We
have purchased and use other services and products, but Nessus is at the
top of the list for features and functionality.

This has been asked before, but I cannot find an answer to
this. Has anyone been able to start a detached Nessus
scan from NessusWX and then later retrieve the results
with NessusWX? The results are listed, but when I try to
view or report them I get the error that the system cannot
find the file specified. The Linux nessus client can
start detached scans and then restore them later with no
problem.
I'm sorry, but the detached scanning feature has been
deprecated since late last year and is not supported any
more.
