If you use the windows client (nessuswx) you are able to utilize more
report sorting/filtering options then are available in the Native Linux
client. The windows client gives the ability to sort the report by
vulnerability or host and the ability to filter out some of the windows
"junk" you might not want in the report (null sessions, NetBIOS info, or
known false positives).

I have been using Nessus for years now, on and off. Recently, I was
hired onto a team doing C&A and ST&E, and was tapped to do a pentest of
the customer's site. I chose Nessus as my tool of choice, along with the
company's copy of Retina.

The scans came out, but I have a question on reporting. I saved off the
scans in native format (nbe for Nessus) as well as html with charts and
graphs. The problem is that I have a short amount of  time to produce a
report, and nearly 1,000 boxes (mostly windows) to wade through. I also
find that all of the boxes have some combination of the same set of
problems. Is there a way to, for instance, get a list of _all_ of the
DCOM enabled boxes or _all_ of the boxes allowing a null session? I have
tried changing the boxes on the report and the html page seems to be
fixed. Is there an easy way to do this? 
Or is this something that is in the works for the future?

Thanks,
