You could do & deply a script to allow poke hole in firewall and restrice to your own subnet or scanning host. Type "netsh firewall add portopening /?" at command prompt.

 

Also, refer to this doc for what ports to open.

Usually all you need is 445 and 135 - 139.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/deploy/depfwset/wfsp2apa.mspx might give you some ideas on how to do it. I've not tested it though, as I don't have a windows machine handy.

Hello!

We use nessus for network-scanning and are very satisfied, but:
Windows XP-Hosts with firewalls active are a problem.

Is there a registry-key or something thelike to open
host a for the scanning-host?
Or are there other solutions?


Greetings
