I have tried four different credentials on MANY different  machines and even a 
local laptop with a VERY generic password.  Results are always the same and 
never do anything differently.  I do see a 2014 and 2013 folder in the plugins 
folder.  Do those get used?  Are those for the 3rd party and windows updates?

Hello,

Yes, OpenVAS will detect for the outdated versions of 3rd party softwares.
May be you are scan-config for credential scans in not proper.

I would see results.  Reason why I ask is because this is why I assume my 
credentialed scans don’t work.  I am not seeing any of this information and my 
non-credentialed and credentialed scans report back the same results.
