Hi Lee,

Nessus includes several checks that tell you why local checks may
have failed. Reading these may provide some insight as to what the
problem is. You may also have ports not being open to allow a network
login.

If you want to have someone from Tenable's support group work on this
with you, please open up a support ticket with us. If you are not
a primary point of contact for HHS, please coordinate with whoever
purchased your Professional Feeds about opening a ticket.
