    Right...If NetBIOS is disabled then this scanner does not see any patches at
    all, whether they are installed or not.

    No, NetBIOS has to be enabled for this to work. I hope all of you disable
    NetBIOS.

    Is it safe to assume that the scanning machine must have remote
    administrative access to the machines to be checked in order to
    check those files and registry settings?
