Nessus is returning plug-in 10722 and 10723 for several of my Windows
2000 / 2003 Exchange and DC servers. After Googling this and checking
the archives I'm still not sure if these plug-ins are working as
intended.
It appears with W2k you can't disable null bind, but it isn't a security
risk in all cases. W2k3 allows null bind to be disabled, but can cause
issues with down level clients and is not always a security issue.

Adding these plug-ins to our ignore list doesn't seem to good of an idea
since they could be legit at times. Can the plug-ins be updated to more
accurately detect the possible exposure of an insecure Windows LDAP
service?
