Hello Dan, There were others who had faced similar issue, am going to describe little in detail. It seems that the login hasn't been successful, the KB item SMB/WindowsVersion is set only if the login is successful. To verify if the login is successful, look for this security_note in the report, "It was possible to log into the remote host using user defined login/password combinations" If you see, "It was not...", login isn't successful. You can verify your credentials once again and also check if access to port 139,445 is there. The login can also be cross-verified through "smbclient" tool. If all this is fine, 1. In "Local Security Settings -> Security Options -> Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts" should be "Classic - local users authenticate themselves" 2. Make sure that you aren't enforcing NTLM, Signing or Encryption, OpenVAS doesn't support these. In openvas-libraries 3.0.3, we introduced NTLM based auth, that can be used for NTLM based authentication but not for signing and encryption. Hope this helps. Thanks, Chandra.

My first attempt was a Ubuntu desktop machine (9.04) I installed openvas from apt-get, I also added my own openvas-nvt-sync since it's missing from the packages. It loads up ok, says that all of the plugins are enabled. Then I point it at a Windows XP SP2 machine, really it's patched up to SP2 so there should be more then a few things triggered on it. The firewall is off on the machine, and I have the Admin login provided for openvas. The scan does return results, a few open ports, that it was able to get netbios information and it reports that ssh is open,(but it's not). There is errors in the openvasd.messages file that say that the key SMB/WindowsVersion is missing, I am assuming my problems might have something to do with that, but I have no idea how to resolve that or really my larger issue. Any help is appreciated.
