Hi,
can someone explain to me, why i have to add IP adresses in the "Windows Record" setting, for authenticated scanning?
Is it possible to do trusted scans without IP adresses in the "Windows Record" settings, because i add IP adresses in the settings for "Launch Vulnerability Scan"?
I cant understand the differences between the IP adresses in Windows Record and the adresses in "Launch Vulnerability Scan".
I hope someone can help me =)
Hi Pierre,
If your Windows hosts are members of an Active Directory or NETBIOS domain you can use those authentication record types which do not require IP addresses to be assigned - we can determine the NETBIOS or AD domain and use the appropriate record.
If your hosts are not domain joined you will need to assign IP addresses to the record. The reason for this is that you may have multiple Windows records for different parts of your network with different credentials. In this case you will need to specify which assets the record applies to, which is why you need to assign IP addresses to the record.
I hope this helps to clarify
