Newer Credentialess Plugins?

Greetings,

Here at UCDavis we have a Nessus box (with one plugin feed) that we use 
to scan the majority of our campus networks once a day.  We tend to 
favor using a credentialess Windows OS plugin so that we can reach the 
maximum number of clients (since most of our clients are Windows) and 
determine whether they're vulnerable to something recent or haven't 
patched in awhile.

Of course, most plugins require authentication in order to read 
enumerated registry entries, etc.  Unfortunately in our environment, 
we're not able to obtain authentication credentials to the majority of 
the campus systems (we're a central organization, they're out in 
departments and/or are flying solo).

We've been using an older  plugin  that detects MS06-040 for several 
months now, but would like to use something more recent.  Unfortunately, 
our eyes and ears that usually pay attention to the plugin feed 
announcements has been lacking and we were hoping you might have some 
suggestions as to a new plugin to use for these campus-wide, once a day 
scans to pick up something more relevant.

Sincerely,

John Harris
