Hi,

Our set up is Nesus 3.0.4 running on a Windows 2000 SP4 machine.

I have an urgent need to check on Windows systems on our network as our Wins and DNS are "up the swanny" ... nice huh?

I found an entry in the Nessus archives for extracting the name of a Windows machine out of its registry.  I have created an .nasl file and copied it into my plugins\scripts directory which contains all the other .nasl files.  Nessus has been restarted and yet this plugin does not appear under any of the "Families" even though it has been set "Windows".  In case this plugin has a scripting issue has anyone got a script that I could have?

I am starting to pull my hair out - and being 43, my hair doesn't need any help ...... :-)
