Local Administrator vs. Local Account with Administrative Privledges

["Beau Nuanes" <bnuanes@ssg-inc.net>]

Hello,

I have been scanning 2 Windows 2000 hosts in a test environment recently and noticed that when I supply credentials for the local "Administrator" account I get very limited results (known holes that are on the machine do not show up on the report for the scan).  However, if I then create a user on the machines with administrative privledges (ie in the administrator group) and use those credentials I get the expected results from the scan.

Is it not possible to actually use the local "Administrator" account with Nessus?

Thanks in advance for the help.
