Hi,

I noticed that scanning a windows 7 host (with credentials and registry 
access) is "broken" by default.
This is because:
1) W7 do not start the remote registry access service by default
2) UAC prevent the local administrator to gain full registry access needed by 
plugins (SMB/registry_full_access).


For point 1) the remote registry service needs to be started, and it's fine. 
Do you see an other way to do this ?


For point 2) I have checked those solutions that make openvas able to connect:
- disable UAC
- explicitely grant access to the local admin user to 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\winreg 
(the Administrators group permission is *not* sufficient)


Problem of all those things, is that it explicitely weaken the host security. 
Do you see any other mean ?
Do you think it may be feasible to adapt to openvas something like this :

registry access ?


Any thoughts ?
Thanks !!
