In the ISS Knowledgebase (reference 010720-000001) there is an article listing 125 ISS checks requiring administrative privileges on the scanned host. (Of these 39 - almost a third - are "High Risk") According to the Knowledgebase article, "absense of these privileges will result in the check not being performed and a false negative for vulnerable hosts." In my environment, it is difficult to obtain an admin account for scanning systems. (And it can't be just here that sysadmins are paranoid about security folk with scanners) I'm curious to know what strategies other use to work around this resistance. Thanks!
