Hi,

   On a Windows base, you can try with GFI Languard: Network Security Scanner http://www.gfi.com, Very usefull tools to find Velnerabilities, network share, active policies, users, application and a lot of stuff. The only problem, it's not free, but you can have a test version.

Hi,
maybe it's a good idea to start with Backtrack Security CD(www.backtrack.org).
You can use all useful UNIX/Linux based security tools without no pain to install.
