Thanks to all who answered my mhtml question of yesterday. I solved the
problem by getting the xml files for the scans, importing them into
Nessus for Windows and viewing them there.

 

One problem I keep stubbing my toe on is Remote Registry.

As all of you are already aware, Nessus needs remote access to the
target registry to determine if various Hotfixes and patches have been
applied. Now many secured environments have decided to turn off the
Remote Registry service. The new OMB mandated FDCC "approved" desktop
image for Federal desktops has Remote Registry turned off by default.

 

My question is how can Remote Registry be temporarily turned on for
scanning purposes? Can an AD GP be used for this purpose?

I've searched the Microsoft site and found
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314837

The solutions mentioned therein don't appear to be practical for my
purposes.

 

Any help would be appreciated.
