There is one plugin that works VERY well called "smb login as users" 

It is considered dangerous because it may lock an account if your lockout 
policies are set too low.

Subject: Easy way to check for NULL admin passwords


I have been looking to see if there is a quick scan I can run to just check if 
on any windows boxws the administrative account has a NULL password. I was 
thinking of just setting the SMB account and password appropriately, but not 
sure which plugin(s) to select.

Any suggestions?

Glenn
