> Authenticated scanners are a bad practice (imho)
Can you expand on this a bit more? I would be interested to hear your opinion 
as to why you say this. I think using authenticated scanners is an excellent 
way to identify:
1.  Computers missed by the patch management process.2.  Effectiveness of patch 
management process. I've seen patch products report to the console that a host 
is patched; however, the scan proved that a given patch failed to apply.3.  
Client software not managed and patched by IT (i.e., iTunes)4.  Mis 
configurations (i.e., Autorun, no SEHOP, no DEP, etc.).
