All, I've run into a problem gathering information from the registry of a Windows XP machine. The machine (really machines) in question is at SP2 + current patches. I'm using basically the same code that was given from my post earlier in September, which has worked without fault on every machine I've tested it prior to this. To recap, I'm running this script to return a registry value either as part of a full-blown scan through the client, or with the nasl utility and obtaining the same results. When run against any windows 2000 machine (with proper permissions), it returns the expected value, however, when run against a Win XP SP2 machine, it returns nothing. (As an aside, I've run this against another XP SP2 machine and am getting an array of messages such as "get_array_elem: variable reply is an integer" and "ord() usage : ord(char)". The script does not in itself directly make use of the ord function.) Is this a known occurrence? Could it perhaps have anything to do with the method in which the registry is being invoked? Am I missing something utterly obvious here? Any information would be helpful. I've tried this with nessus versions 2.0.10 and 2.0.12 with the current plugin set.
