Scanning non-domain machines

Subject: Scanning non-domain machines
Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2005 10:45:01 +0100
Hi Guys, I have a couple of questions for you....

I have read the documentation on setting up a domain account for scanning windows machines, but what about machines that are not in a domain? We have all our staff and faculty machines as members of a domain with accounts, but our student machines are all in a local workgroup and are not part of the domain.
All our student machines have the same local administrator account and pwd, I tried entering this into the SMB credentials, checked that remote registry service was running, and that the local admin group had rights to read the registry but I seem unable to get any information back from the scan apart from a couple of open ports, which leads me to believe that Nessus is unable to read from the remote registry. Any clues at to what to check for would be greatly appreciated..


Also, with the Unix client it is obvious where to put any SMB credentials, using the windows client am I correct in thinking that under plugin preferences, there is a key for login configurations with 2 keys for SMB acct and pwd - is this the correct place for putting the domain credentials....

Many thanks

Martin
