Description

Nessus Preflight(NPF) Check for local and remote systems, Yes it is very hacky code but it works ok :). This script essentially will do local checks on a windows system or on a remote system, sets the reg keys required for nessus to do its magic!

Quick-Start

Import the module: . .\NPF.ps1

Carries out a series of checks on the local or a remote system to ensure nessus will work for credentialed patch scans, current setup is for localonly

• Invoke-NPF -localonly Only check for the registry keys and set them if not already.

• Invoke-NPF -cleanup Revert the keys back to standard once complete

• Invoke-NPF -checklocalreg Run just the checks don't change anything, if not set the function will recommend running -localonly .

• Invoke-NPF -remote -target '10.1.1.1' Run the script against a remote system, note this will prompt for your credentials, please enter then DOMAIN\Username
