With many of the Windows plugins, Nessus requires read access to the
filesystem as an administrator in order to perform its checks. This
suggests that if checks are failing, you could look at the following:
- Is port 139 or 445 accessible on the targets?
- Have you provided Nessus with valid credentials for your targets?
- Is the administrator account you're trying to use able to log
on remotely as itself rather than a guest?
You may want to review the doc Tenable has put together on local checks:

If you're still having difficulty after that, post snippets of your
nessusd.messages log after running a scan so we have a better idea
what's going on.
