Hello,
=20
I'm having trouble determining why the SMB credentials I've configured
are not able to login and run the local checks on our Windows 2003 SP 2
servers. I can login using the same credentials over remote desktop but
the Nessus scans gets locked out. I have ensured the user name and
password is correct and that the account is part of the local admin
group. We do not control the domain so I cannot get a domain account.
Will a local admin account work?

Thanks,
Lee Anne=20
