FYI.  Plugin 18502 (aka. the Network check for MS05-027, smb_kb896422.nasl) 
revision 1.2 has a 100% false positive rate when scanning systems running 
Windows Server 2003.  We have found this to be the case whilest scanning 
200+ Win2K3 systems.  In all cases this plugin reports that the Win2K3 
systems are "unpatched", even when they are patched.  However, the plugin 
*does* appear to be 100% accurate when scanning Win2K and WinXP systems.  It 
just seems to falter with Win2K3.

I'm a bit surprised that no one else has reported this yet.

Regards.
