| Subject: | Local Administrator vs. Local Account with Administrative Privledges |
|---|---|
| Date: | Mon, 29 Jan 2007 17:02:42 -0700 |
Hello, I have been scanning 2 Windows 2000 hosts in a test environment recently and noticed that when I supply credentials for the local "Administrator" account I get very limited results (known holes that are on the machine do not show up on the report for the scan). However, if I then create a user on the machines with administrative privledges (ie in the administrator group) and use those credentials I get the expected results from the scan. Is it not possible to actually use the local "Administrator" account with Nessus? Thanks in advance for the help. Beau Nuanes
