Nessus exists to figure out what is running on any given IP address and then test the discovered functions for a vulnerability. There's no plug-in because this searching is part of what it does naturally.
The only gotcha I've found, is that to find IIS machines that only respond on port 443 (https), you must add port 443 to the TCP Ping test. If all you want to do is locate IIS machines and not test any vulnerabilities, then I suppose you would put 80 and 443 on the TCP Ping test and disable all other plug-ins.

I was reviewing the plugins looking for a way to search for IIS, but I only found plugins that located IIS vulnerabilities. Can Nessus scan a network and locate machines running IIS and not just IIS vulnerabilities?
