Hello

I want to check windows patch levels through Nessus.
All ours servers ( Windows / Unix ) are running SSH without password ( key 
exchange ).

>>From the source of the plugins, confirmed by my checks, the "Microsoft 
Bulletins" family checks the
credentials by "opening" the IPC$ share, providing login/password to do 
this. 
Obviously if you have only SSH credential, this does not work.

Would it be possible to use ONLY SSH authentication on windows , the same 
way it's done on Linux / unixes

Cordialement / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards,
