Paul, the MS Scanner actually give yous a report of what's missing. Use the /l:Logfilename option and it will produce a nice little log file with the following entries:

This is in addition to the /o option that only lists the IP addresses of suspect systems.

My $0.02. The MS scanner covers a /16 in about two hours. It *will* report Win9x machines as vulnerable, but that's a price I'm willing to pay. Unfortunately it gives you an IP list with no indication of what is wrong with the box. (Is it missing both 026 & 039? Just 039?) But it allows you to script things that can help automate remediation processes. The eEye scanner works very well, but it limits you to a /24, which is a bit of a pain. We use it for monitoring the worst offenders (VLANS, not people.) The Foundstone scanner? Well, I started scanning the /16 last night around 6PM. It's at 62582 addresses right now, so I suppose it will finish some time today. Not good. I was surprised, because their SQL scanner is very fast. It covers a /16 in about an hour. Don't know what the problem is, but something is definitely wrong. I haven't tried any other scanners. I'll stick with the MS and eEye scanners.
