I am new to Nessus and am running some basic scans to get a grasp on  
it.  I have two plugins enabled(SMB blank administrator password and  
SMB guest account for all users) but I am only getting results for  
one.  If I check the log it says “required key missing” on the  
plugin that didn’t run.


In the case of these two plugins, you'll see this message in the log  
if you have optimization turned on and the plugin doesn't report a  
problem.


Here is my targeted server configuration and the nessus output.


Blank admin password and guest enabled = Results for SMB guest  
account for all users
Blank admin password and guest disabled = Results for SMB blank  
administrator password


With the "Guest only" module for local accounts, aren't network logons  
are automatically mapped to the guest account? How would you be able  
to determine if a particular local user, such as Administrator, is  
missing a password in that case?
