I am using Suse 10 Linux and the latest verson of nessus, we ever I scan
against an IP it brings back what ports are open and vulnerabilities
that those ports have but it never brings back and MS vulnerabilities
and I know some of the IP's I'm scanning have not been patched for
months, what have I done wrong.

Have you given Nessus credentials for remote registry access on those
machines? See
<http://www.nessus.org/documentation/nessus_credential_checks.pdf> if
you haven't yet done this.

If you have, are you including 139 / 445 in your port range? Enabling
plugin dependencies? Do you see anything interesting in nessusd.messages
or nessusd.dump?
