Penn test finds 'Novell msg active'

on a new installation of esxi 6.0.   This has to be some kind of false positive or is there a setting during installation i left enabled and missed?  my other 8 didn't report this back.  Saddly all i have is the vulerability and what IP address.

any thoughts on this one?

and to be clear the IP address is of the host and no i do not have any novel guests
