A colleague and I have had success with using Nessus (http://www.nessus.org) for this purpose. Just modify smb_login.nasl to use the various Administrator passwords that you have. Nessus already includes a few checks for some patches, but if you need more you can always write some (its quite easy using NASL). Of course, you are trusting the registry to give you accurate information but it might be better than nothing. Hope this helps, Rohan On Tue, Feb 03, 2004 at 04:01:46PM +0100, Nagy Gergely wrote:
Hi all, I have a very heterogenous infrasturcture, with most PC's logged into NDS. What is the use of MBSA (that requires local admin priv) if all the PC's have different local admin passwords? In this case, am I not able to scan the situation on the whole network? Then what else tool could I use to determine the state of patches? Br, Gery Ez a level virusellenorzesen esett at!
