Ron,

I'm saying that I have creds for both but SMB and admin shares are disabled but I do have WMI available.

I thought an Nessus local creditialed scan needed SMB and Admin shares?

But a port could be blocked through the firewall and an instance still listening locally although not remotely accessible providing the FW is running. These do exist for tools run locally and I've seen the FW fail too so want to ensure coverage for these also.
