No worries, thanks for the feedback. But just to clarify, you’re
saying that it will be mandatory to have Domain Admin credentials
configured in Nessus in order perform patch checks against remote
Windows hosts in future? Or just to run Nessus on Windows? Or both?
We've been recommending for a while to provide Nessus with domain
credentials to perform the scans, as checking for a file version on
disk is way more reliable than checking through the registry.
So domain admin credentials SHOULD be configured in Nessus to perform
a full patch audit (but you don't need to be a domain admin to run
Nessus).
