+# Get Support
+
+**What is the Microsoft Security Compliance Manager (SCM)?**
+
+The Security Compliance Manager (SCM) has now been retired and is no longer supported. The reason is that SCM was an incredibly complex and large program that needed to be updated for every Windows release. It has been replaced by the Security Compliance Toolkit (SCT). To provide a better service for our customers, we have moved to SCT with which we can publish baselines through the Microsoft Download Center in a lightweight .zip file that contains GPO backups, GPO reports, Excel spreadsheets, WMI filters, and scripts to apply the settings to local policy.
+
+More information about this change can be found on the [Microsoft Security Guidance blog](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/secguide/2017/06/15/security-compliance-manager-scm-retired-new-tools-and-procedures/).
+
+**Where can I get an older version of a Windows baseline?**
+
+Any version of Windows baseline before Windows 10 1703 can still be downloaded using SCM. Any future versions of Windows baseline will be available through SCT. See the version matrix in this article to see if your version of Windows baseline is available on SCT.

+
+**What file formats are supported by the new SCT?**
+
+The toolkit supports formats created by the Windows GPO backup feature (.pol, .inf, and .csv). Policy Analyzer saves its data in XML files with a .PolicyRules file extension. LGPO also supports its own LGPO text file format as a text-based analog for the binary registry.pol file format. See the [LGPO documentation](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=55319) for more information. Keep in mind that SCM’s .cab files are no longer supported.
+
+**Does SCT support Desired State Configuration (DSC) file format?**
+
+Not yet. PowerShell-based DSC is rapidly gaining popularity, and more DSC tools are coming online to convert GPOs and DSC and to validate system configuration. We are currently developing a tool to provide customers with these features.
+
+**Does SCT support the creation of System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) DCM packs?**
+
+No. A potential alternative is Desired State Configuration (DSC), a feature of the [Windows Management Framework](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=40855). A tool that supports conversion of GPO backups to DSC format can be found [here](https://github.com/Microsoft/BaselineManagement).
+
+**Does SCT support the creation of Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP)-format policies?**
+
+No. SCM supported only SCAP 1.0, which was not updated as SCAP evolved. The new toolkit likewise does not include SCAP support.

+# Microsoft Security Compliance Toolkit 1.0
+
+## What is the Security Compliance Toolkit (SCT)?
+
+The Security Compliance Toolkit (SCT) is a set of tools that allows enterprise security administrators to download, analyze, test, edit, and store Microsoft-recommended security configuration baselines for Windows and other Microsoft products.
+
+The SCT enables administrators to effectively manage their enterprise’s Group Policy Objects (GPOs). Using the toolkit, administrators can compare their current GPOs with Microsoft-recommended GPO baselines or other baselines, edit them, store them in GPO backup file format, and apply them broadly through Active Directory or individually through local policy.
+<p></p>
+
+The Security Compliance Toolkit consists of:
+
+-   Windows 10 Security Baselines
+    -   Windows 10 Version 1709 (Fall Creators Update)
+    -    Windows 10 Version 1703 (Creators Update)
+    -   Windows 10 Version 1607 (Anniversary Update)
+    -   Windows 10 Version 1511 (November Update)
+    -   Windows 10 Version 1507
+
+-   Windows Server Security Baselines
+    -   Windows Server 2016
+    -   Windows Server 2012 R2
+
+-   Tools
+    -   Policy Analyzer tool
+    -   Local Group Policy Object (LGPO) tool
+
+
+You can [download the tools](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=55319) along with the baselines for the relevant Windows versions.
+
+## What is the Policy Analyzer tool?
+
+The Policy Analyzer is a utility for analyzing and comparing sets of Group Policy Objects (GPOs). Its main features include:
+-   Highlight when a set of Group Policies has redundant settings or internal inconsistencies
+-   Highlight the differences between versions or sets of Group Policies
+-   Compare GPOs against current local policy and local registry settings
+-   Export results to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
+
+Policy Analyzer lets you treat a set of GPOs as a single unit. This makes it easy to determine whether particular settings are duplicated across the GPOs or are set to conflicting values. Policy Analyzer also lets you capture a baseline and then compare it to a snapshot taken at a later time to identify changes anywhere across the set. 
+
+More information on the Policy Analyzer tool can be found on the [Security Guidance blog](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/secguide/2016/01/22/new-tool-policy-analyzer/) or by [downloading the tool](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=55319).
+
+## What is the Local Group Policy Object (LGPO) tool?
+
+LGPO is a tool for transferring Group Policy directly between a host’s registry and a GPO backup file, bypassing the Domain Controller. This gives administrators a simple way to verify the effects of their Group Policy settings directly. 
+Documentation for the LGPO tool can be found on the [Security Guidance blog](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/secguide/2016/01/21/lgpo-exe-local-group-policy-object-utility-v1-0/) or by [downloading the tool](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=55319).

 Every organization faces security threats. However, the types of security threats that are of most concern to one organization can be completely different from another organization. For example, an e-commerce company may focus on protecting its Internet-facing web apps, while a hospital may focus on protecting confidential patient information. The one thing that all organizations have in common is a need to keep their apps and devices secure. These devices must be compliant with the security standards (or security baselines) defined by the organization.

 Security baselines are an essential benefit to customers because they bring together expert knowledge from Microsoft, partners, and customers.

-## Get Support
-
-**What is the Microsoft Security Compliance Manager (SCM)?**
-
-The Security Compliance Manager is now retired and is no longer supported. It has been replaced by the Security Compliance Toolkit. The reason for this is that SCM was an incredibly complex and large program that needed to be updated for every Windows release. In order to provide a better service for our customers, we have moved to SCT where we can publish baselines through the Microsoft Download Center in a lightweight .zip file that contains GPO backups, GPO reports, Excel spreadsheets, WMI filters, and scripts to apply the settings to local policy.
-
-More information about this change can be found on the Microsoft 
-[Microsoft Security Guidance blog](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/secguide/2017/06/15/security-compliance-manager-scm-retired-new-tools-and-procedures/).
-
-**Where can I get an older version of a Windows baseline?**
-
-Any version of Windows baseline before Windows 10 1703, will still be downloadable using SCM. Any future versions of Windows baseline will be available through SCT. See matrix below to see if your version of Windows baseline is available on SCT.

-
-**What file formats are supported by the new SCT?**
-
-The toolkit supports formats created by the Windows GPO backup feature (.pol, inf. and .csv). Policy Analyzer saves its data in XML files with a .PolicyRules file extension. LGPO also supports its own “LGPO text” file format as a text-based analog for the binary registry.pol file format. See the LGPO documentation for more information. Keep in mind that SCM’s .cab files are no longer supported.
-
-**Does SCT support Desired State Configuration (DSC) file format?**
-
-Not yet. PowerShell-based DSC is rapidly gaining popularity, and more DSC tools are coming online to convert GPOs and DSC and to validate system configuration. We are currently working on the development of a tool that will provide customers with these features.
-
-**Does SCT support the creation of System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) DCM packs?**
-
-No. A potential alternative is Desired State Configuration (DSC), a feature of the [Windows Management Framework](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=40855). A tool that supports conversion of GPO backups to DSC format can be found [here](https://github.com/Microsoft/BaselineManagement).
-
-**Does SCT support the creation of Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP)-format policies?**
-
-No. SCM only supported SCAP 1.0, which was not updated as SCAP evolved. The new toolkit likewise does not include SCAP support.
