Hi Ron, I use an account with domain admin privileges in the SMB account entry under credentials. But when I connect to the server I use localuser and the default password. Do I need to use the same account for SMB and connection to server??

You could also try testing more checks by enabling the plugin families you want to test. By default, many of these checks are not enabled.
