Minimum permissions for domain account

from [Ng, Kenneth (US)] Network Security [Permanent Link]
Subject: Minimum permissions for domain account
Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2007 12:02:25 -0400 
Hello, I see that Nessus has the ability to query various Windows
functions if it is provided authentication information.  I don't want to
use the domain administrator account for obvious security reasons.  If I
set up a dedicated domain account, what are the bare minimum permissions
I would need to give it to be able to use Nessus to gather things like
patch information?  Given such permissions, what harm could still be
done if the id were compromised?
