    Dear all

    I thank you all for your responses and valuable help!!!

    To quickly summarise the conclusion:

    A HTML report generated by the nessus Windows client does not provide
    the nessusID for an identified vulnerability. A report generated on the
    Linux GUI does link a vulnerability to the nessus plug-in.

    So we just found another good reason for using Linux :-)

    Kind regards
    cissper
