If you are using an older version, please download the latest from [Download Center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=822966&clcid=0x409). - -The Upgrade Analytics deployment script does the following: - -1. Sets commercial ID key + CommercialDataOptIn + RequestAllAppraiserVersions keys. - -2. Verifies that user computers can send data to Microsoft. - -3. Checks whether the computer has a pending restart.   - -4. Verifies that the latest version of KB package 10.0.x is installed (version 10.0.14348 or later is required, but version 10.0.14913 or later is recommended). - -5. If enabled, turns on verbose mode for troubleshooting. - -6. Initiates the collection of the telemetry data that Microsoft needs to assess your organization’s upgrade readiness. - -7. If enabled, displays the script’s progress in a cmd window, providing you immediate visibility into issues (success or fail for each step) and/or writes to log file. - -To run the Upgrade Analytics deployment script: - -1. Download the [Upgrade Analytics deployment script](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=822966&clcid=0x409) and extract UpgradeAnalytics.zip. Inside, there are two folders: Pilot and Deployment. The Pilot folder contains advanced logging that can help troubleshoot issues and is intended to be run from an elevated command prompt. The Deployment folder offers a lightweight script intended for broad deployment through ConfigMgr or other software deployment system. We recommend manually running the Pilot version of the script on 5-10 machines to verify that everything is configured correctly. Once you have confirmed that data is flowing successfully, proceed to run the Deployment version throughout your organization. - -2. Edit the following parameters in RunConfig.bat: - - 1. Provide a storage location for log information. You can store log information on a remote file share or a local directory. If the script is blocked from creating the log file for the given path, it creates the log files in the drive with the Windows directory. Example: %SystemDrive%\\UADiagnostics - - 2. Input your commercial ID key. This can be found in your OMS workspace under Settings -> Connected Sources -> Windows Telemetry. - - 3. By default, the script sends log information to both the console and the log file. To change the default behavior, use one of the following options: - - > *logMode = 0 log to console only* -> - > *logMode = 1 log to file and console* -> - > *logMode = 2 log to file only* - -3. To enable Internet Explorer data collection, set AllowIEData to IEDataOptIn. By default, AllowIEData is set to Disable. Then use one of the following options to determine what Internet Explorer data can be collected: - - > *IEOptInLevel = 0 Internet Explorer data collection is disabled* - > - > *IEOptInLevel = 1 Data collection is enabled for sites in the Local intranet + Trusted sites + Machine local zones* - > - > *IEOptInLevel = 2 Data collection is enabled for sites in the Internet + Restricted sites zones* - > - > *IEOptInLevel = 3 Data collection is enabled for all sites* - -4. After you finish editing the parameters in RunConfig.bat, you are ready to run the script. If you are using the Pilot version, run RunConfig.bat from an elevated command prompt. If you are using the Deployment version, use ConfigMgr or other software deployment service to run RunConfig.bat as system. - -The deployment script displays the following exit codes to let you know if it was successful, or if an error was encountered. - -

While Credential Guard is a powerful mitigation, persistent threat attacks will likely shift to new attack techniques and you should also incorporate Device Guard and other security strategies and architectures. ## How it works -Credential Guard isolates secrets that previous versions of Windows stored in the Local Security Authority (LSA) by using virtualization-based security. Prior to Windows 10, the LSA stored secrets used by the operating system in its process memory. With Credential Guard, the LSA process in the operating system talks to a new component called the isolated LSA process that stores and protects those secrets. Data stored by the isolated LSA process is protected using virtualization-based security and is not accessible to the rest of the operating system. LSA uses remote procedure calls to communicate with the isolated LSA process. +Kerberos, NTLM, and Credential manager isolate secrets that previous versions of Windows stored in the Local Security Authority (LSA) by using virtualization-based security. Prior to Windows 10, the LSA stored secrets used by the operating system in its process memory. With Credential Guard enabled, the LSA process in the operating system talks to a new component called the isolated LSA process that stores and protects those secrets. Data stored by the isolated LSA process is protected using virtualization-based security and is not accessible to the rest of the operating system. LSA uses remote procedure calls to communicate with the isolated LSA process. For security reasons, the isolated LSA process doesn't host any device drivers. Instead, it only hosts a small subset of operating system binaries that are needed for security and nothing else. All of these binaries are signed with a certificate that is trusted by virtualization-based security and these signatures are validated before launching the file in the protected environment. -Credential Guard prevents NTLMv1, MS-CHAPv2, Digest, and CredSSP from using sign-on credentials. Thus, single sign-on does not work with these protocols. However, Credential guard allows these protocols to be used with prompted credentials or those saved in Credential Manager. It is strongly recommended that valuable credentials, such as the sign-on credentials, not be used with any of these protocols. If these protocols must be used by domain users, secondary credentials should be provisioned for these use cases. +When Credential Guard is enabled, NTLMv1, MS-CHAPv2, Digest, and CredSSP cannot use the signed-in credentials. Thus, single sign-on does not work with these protocols. However, applications can prompt for credentials or use credentials stored in the Windows Vault which are not protected by Credential Guard with any of these protocol. It is strongly recommended that valuable credentials, such as the sign-in credentials, not be used with any of these protocols. If these protocols must be used by domain or Azure AD users, secondary credentials should be provisioned for these use cases. -Credential Guard does not allow unconstrained Kerberos delegation or Kerberos DES encryption at all. Neither sign-on nor prompted/saved credentials may be used. +When Credential Guard is enabled, Kerberos does not allow unconstrained Kerberos delegation or DES encryption, not only for signed-in credentials, but also prompted or saved credentials.

Code integrity policies follow a similar methodology, that begins with the establishment of a golden computer. As with imaging, you can have multiple golden computers based on model, department, application set, and so on. Although the thought process around the creation of code integrity policies is similar to imaging, these policies should be maintained independently. Assess the necessity of additional code integrity policies based on what should be allowed to be installed and run and for whom.

One straightforward method to implement code integrity policies is to use existing images to create one master code integrity policy. You do so by creating a code integrity policy from each image, and then by merging the policies. This way, what is installed on all of those images will be allowed to run, if the applications are installed on a computer based on a different image.

Organizational configuration must be completed before users can begin to register. + + The registration process works like this: + +1. The user configures an account on the device. This account can be a local account on the device, a domain account stored in the on-premises Active Directory domain, a Microsoft account, or an Azure AD account. For a new device, this step may be as simple as signing in with a Microsoft account. Signing in with a Microsoft account on a Windows 10 device automatically sets up Windows Hello on the device; users don’t have to do anything extra to enable it. +2. To sign in using that account, the user has to enter the existing credentials for it. The identity provider (IDP) that “owns” the account receives the credentials and authenticates the user. This IDP authentication may include the use of an existing second authentication factor, or proof. For example, a user who registers a new device by using an Azure AD account will have to provide an SMS-based proof that Azure AD sends. +3. When the user has provided the proof to the IDP, the user enables PIN authentication. The PIN will be associated with this particular credential. When the user sets the PIN, it becomes usable immediately + +The PIN chosen is associated with the combination of the active account and that specific device. The PIN must comply with whatever length and complexity policy the account administrator has configured; this policy is enforced on the device side. Other registration scenarios that Windows Hello supports are: + +- A user who upgrades from the Windows 8.1 operating system will sign in by using the existing enterprise password. That triggers a second authentication factor from the IDP side (if required); after receiving and returning a proof, such as a text message or voice code, the IDP authenticates the user to the upgraded Windows 10 device, and the user can set his or her PIN. +- A user who typically uses a smart card to sign in will be prompted to set up a PIN the first time he or she signs in to a Windows 10 device the user has not previously signed in to. +- A user who typically uses a virtual smart card to sign in will be prompted to set up a PIN the first time he or she signs in to a Windows 10 device the user has not previously signed in to. + +When the user has completed this process, Windows Hello generates a new public–private key pair on the device. The TPM generates and protects this private key; if the device doesn’t have a TPM, the private key is encrypted and stored in software. This initial key is referred to as the protector key. It’s associated only with a single gesture; in other words, if a user registers a PIN, a fingerprint, and a face on the same device, each of those gestures will have a unique protector key. Each unique gesture generates a unique protector key. The protector key securely wraps the authentication key. The container has only one authentication key, but there can be multiple copies of that key wrapped with different unique protector keys. Windows Hello also generates an administrative key that the user or administrator can use to reset credentials, when necessary. In addition to the protector key, TPM-enabled devices generate a block of data that contains attestations from the TPM. + +At this point, the user has a PIN gesture defined on the device and an associated protector key for that PIN gesture. That means he or she is able to securely sign in to the device with the PIN and thus that he or she can establish a trusted session with the device to add support for a biometric gesture as an alternative for the PIN. When you add a biometric gesture, it follows the same basic sequence: the user authenticates to the system by using his or her PIN, and then registers the new biometric (“smile for the camera!”), after which Windows generates a unique key pair and stores it securely. Future sign-ins can then use either the PIN or the registered biometric gestures. + +## What’s a container? + +You’ll often hear the term *container* used in reference to mobile device management (MDM) solutions. Windows Hello uses the term, too, but in a slightly different way. Container in this context is shorthand for a logical grouping of key material or data. Windows 10 Hello uses a single container that holds user key material for personal accounts, including key material associated with the user’s Microsoft account or with other consumer identity providers, and credentials associated with a workplace or school account. + +The container holds enterprise credentials only on devices that have been registered with an organization; it contains key material for the enterprise IDP, such as on-premises Active Directory or Azure AD. + +It’s important to keep in mind that there are no physical containers on disk, in the registry, or elsewhere. Containers are logical units used to group related items. The keys, certificates, and credentials Windows Hello stores are protected without the creation of actual containers or folders. + +The container actually contains a set of keys, some of which are used to protect other keys. The following image shows an example: the protector key is used to encrypt the authentication key, and the authentication key is used to encrypt the individual keys stored in the container. + +![Each logical container holds one or more sets of keys](images/passport-fig3-logicalcontainer.png) + +Containers can contain several types of key material: + +- An authentication key, which is always an asymmetric public–private key pair. This key pair is generated during registration. It must be unlocked each time it’s accessed, by using either the user’s PIN or a previously generated biometric gesture. The authentication key exists until the user resets the PIN, at which time a new key will be generated. When the new key is generated, all the key material that the old key previously protected must be decrypted and re-encrypted using the new key. +- Virtual smart card keys are generated when a virtual smart card is generated and stored securely in the container. They’re available whenever the user’s container is unlocked. +- The IDP key. These keys can be either symmetric or asymmetric, depending on which IDP you use. A single container may contain zero or more IDP keys, with some restrictions (for example, the enterprise container can contain zero or one IDP keys). IDP keys are stored in the container. For certificate-based Windows Hello for Work, when the container is unlocked, applications that require access to the IDP key or key pair can request access. IDP keys are used to sign or encrypt authentication requests or tokens sent from this device to the IDP. IDP keys are typically long-lived but could have a shorter lifetime than the authentication key. Microsoft accounts, Active Directory accounts, and Azure AD accounts all require the use of asymmetric key pairs. The device generates public and private keys, registers the public key with the IDP (which stores it for later verification), and securely stores the private key. For enterprises, the IDP keys can be generated in two ways: + - The IDP key pair can be associated with an enterprise Certificate Authority (CA) through the Windows Network Device Enrollment Service (NDES), described more fully in [Network Device Enrollment Service Guidance](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831498.aspx). In this case, Windows Hello requests a new certificate with the same key as the certificate from the existing PKI. This option lets organizations that have an existing PKI continue to use it where appropriate. Given that many applications, such as popular virtual private network systems, require the use of certificates, when you deploy Windows Hello in this mode, it allows a faster transition away from user passwords while still preserving certificate-based functionality. This option also allows the enterprise to store additional certificates in the protected container. + - The IDP can generate the IDP key pair directly, which allows quick, lower-overhead deployment of Windows Hello in environments that don’t have or need a PKI. + +## How keys are protected + +Any time key material is generated, it must be protected against attack. The most robust way to do this is through specialized hardware. There’s a long history of using hardware security modules (HSMs) to generate, store, and process keys for security-critical applications. Smart cards are a special type of HSM, as are devices that are compliant with the Trusted Computing Group TPM standard. Wherever possible, the Windows Hello for Work implementation takes advantage of onboard TPM hardware to generate and protect keys. However, Windows Hello and Windows Hello for Work do not require an onboard TPM. Administrators can choose to allow key operations in software, in which case any user who has (or can escalate to) administrative rights on the device can use the IDP keys to sign requests. As an alternative, in some scenarios, devices that don’t have a TPM can be remotely authenticated by using a device that does have a TPM, in which case all the sensitive operations are performed with the TPM and no key material is exposed. + +Whenever possible, Microsoft recommends the use of TPM hardware. The TPM protects against a variety of known and potential attacks, including PIN brute-force attacks. The TPM provides an additional layer of protection after an account lockout, too. When the TPM has locked the key material, the user will have to reset the PIN (which means he or she will have to use MFA to reauthenticate to the IDP before the IDP allows him or her to re-register). Resetting the PIN means that all keys and certificates encrypted with the old key material will be removed. + + +## Authentication + +When a user wants to access protected key material, the authentication process begins with the user entering a PIN or biometric gesture to unlock the device, a process sometimes called releasing the key. Think of it like using a physical key to unlock a door: before you can unlock the door, you need to remove the key from your pocket or purse. The user's PIN unlocks the protector key for the container on the device. When that container is unlocked, applications (and thus the user) can use whatever IDP keys reside inside the container. + +These keys are used to sign requests that are sent to the IDP, requesting access to specified resources. It’s important to understand that although the keys are unlocked, applications cannot use them at will. Applications can use specific APIs to request operations that require key material for particular actions (for example, decrypt an email message or sign in to a website). Access through these APIs doesn’t require explicit validation through a user gesture, and the key material isn’t exposed to the requesting application. Rather, the application asks for authentication, encryption, or decryption, and the Windows Hello layer handles the actual work and returns the results. Where appropriate, an application can request a forced authentication even on an unlocked device. Windows prompts the user to reenter the PIN or perform an authentication gesture, which adds an extra level of protection for sensitive data or actions. For example, you can configure the Windows Store to require reauthentication any time a user purchases an application, even though the same account and PIN or gesture were already used to unlock the device. + +For example, the authentication process for Azure Active Directory works like this: + +1. The client sends an empty authentication request to the IDP. (This is merely for the handshake process.) +2. The IDP returns a challenge, known as a nonce. +3. The device signs the nonce with the appropriate private key. +4. The device returns the original nonce, the signed nonce, and the ID of the key used to sign the nonce. +5. The IDP fetches the public key that the key ID specified, uses it to verify the signature on the nonce, and verifies that the nonce the device returned matches the original. +6. If all the checks in step 5 succeed, the IDP returns two data items: a symmetric key, which is encrypted with the device’s public key, and a security token, which is encrypted with the symmetric key. +7. The device uses its private key to decrypt the symmetric key, and then uses that symmetric key to decrypt the token. +8. The device makes a normal authentication request for the original resource, presenting the token from the IDP as its proof of authentication. + +When the IDP validates the signature, it is verifying that the request came from the specified user and device. The private key specific to the device signs the nonce, which allows the IDP to determine the identity of the requesting user and device so that it can apply policies for content access based on user, device type, or both together. For example, an IDP could allow access to one set of resources only from mobile devices and a different set from desktop devices. + + +## The infrastructure + +Windows Hello depends on having compatible IDPs available to it. As of this writing, that means you have four deployment possibilities: + +- Use an existing Windows-based PKI centered around Active Directory Certificate Services. This option requires additional infrastructure, including a way to issue certificates to users. You can use NDES to register devices directly, or Microsoft Intune where it’s available to manage mobile device participation in Windows Hello. +- The normal discovery mechanism that clients use to find domain controllers and global catalogs relies on Domain Name System (DNS) SRV records, but those records don’t contain version data. Windows 10 computers will query DNS for SRV records to find all available Active Directory servers, and then query each server to identify those that can act as Windows Hello IDPs. The number of authentication requests your users generate, where your users are located, and the design of your network all drive the number of Windows Server 2016 domain controllers required. +- Azure AD can act as an IDP either by itself or alongside an on-premises AD DS forest. Organizations that use Azure AD can register devices directly without having to join them to a local domain by using the capabilities the Azure AD Device Registration service provides. In addition to the IDP, Windows Hello requires an MDM system. This system can be the cloud-based Intune if you use Azure AD, or an on-premises System Center Configuration Manager deployment that meets the system requirements described in the Deployment requirements section of this document. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +## Related topics + +- [Windows Hello for Business](hello-identity-verification.md) +- [Manage Windows Hello for Business in your organization](hello-manage-in-organization.md) +- [Enable phone sign-in to PC or VPN](hello-enable-phone-signin.md) +- [Why a PIN is better than a password](hello-why-pin-is-better-than-password.md) +- [Prepare people to use Windows Hello](hello-prepare-people-to-use.md) +- [Windows Hello and password changes](hello-and-password-changes.md) +- [Windows Hello errors during PIN creation](hello-errors-during-pin-creation.md) +- [Event ID 300 - Windows Hello successfully created](hello-event-300.md) +- [Windows Hello biometrics in the enterprise](hello-biometrics-in-enterprise.md) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/windows/keep-secure/hello-identity-verification.md b/windows/keep-secure/hello-identity-verification.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..3806b27b42 --- /dev/null +++ b/windows/keep-secure/hello-identity-verification.md @@ -0,0 +1,129 @@ +--- +title: Windows Hello for Business (Windows 10) +description: IWindows Hello for Business replaces passwords with strong two-factor authentication on PCs and mobile devices. +ms.assetid: 5BF09642-8CF5-4FBC-AC9A-5CA51E19387E +keywords: identity, PIN, biometric, Hello, passport +ms.prod: w10 +ms.mktglfcycl: deploy +ms.sitesec: library +ms.pagetype: security, mobile +author: jdeckerMS +localizationpriority: high +--- +# Windows Hello for Business + +**Applies to** +- Windows 10 +- Windows 10 Mobile + +In Windows 10, Windows Hello for Business replaces passwords with strong two-factor authentication on PCs and mobile devices. This authentication consists of a new type of user credential that is tied to a device and uses a biometric or PIN. + +>[!NOTE] +> When Windows 10 first shipped, it included Microsoft Passport and Windows Hello, which worked together to provide multi-factor authentication. To simplify deployment and improve supportability, Microsoft has combined these technologies into a single solution under the Windows Hello name. Customers who have already deployed these technologies will not experience any change in functionality. Customers who have yet to evaluate Windows Hello will find it easier to deploy due to simplified policies, documentation, and semantics. + +Windows Hello addresses the following problems with passwords: +- Strong passwords can be difficult to remember, and users often reuse passwords on multiple sites. +- Server breaches can expose symmetric network credentials (passwords). +- Passwords are subject to [replay attacks](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=615673). +- Users can inadvertently expose their passwords due to [phishing attacks](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=615674). + +Windows Hello lets users authenticate to: +- a Microsoft account. +- an Active Directory account. +- a Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) account. +- Identity Provider Services or Relying Party Services that support [Fast ID Online (FIDO) v2.0](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=533889) authentication (in progress) + +After an initial two-step verification of the user during enrollment, Windows Hello is set up on the user's device and Windows asks the user to set a gesture, which can be a biometric, such as a fingerprint, or a PIN. The user provides the gesture to verify their identity. Windows then uses Windows Hello to authenticate users. + +As an administrator in an enterprise or educational organization, you can create policies to manage Windows Hello for Business use on Windows 10-based devices that connect to your organization. + +## Biometric sign-in + + Windows Hello provides reliable, fully integrated biometric authentication based on facial recognition or fingerprint matching. Windows Hello uses a combination of special infrared (IR) cameras and software to increase accuracy and guard against spoofing. Major hardware vendors are shipping devices that have integrated Windows Hello-compatible cameras. Fingerprint reader hardware can be used or added to devices that don’t currently have it. On devices that support Windows Hello, an easy biometric gesture unlocks users’ credentials. + +- **Facial recognition**. This type of biometric recognition uses special cameras that see in IR light, which allows them to reliably tell the difference between a photograph or scan and a living person. Several vendors are shipping external cameras that incorporate this technology, and major laptop manufacturers are incorporating it into their devices, as well. +- **Fingerprint recognition**. This type of biometric recognition uses a capacitive fingerprint sensor to scan your fingerprint. Fingerprint readers have been available for Windows computers for years, but the current generation of sensors is significantly more reliable and less error-prone. Most existing fingerprint readers (whether external or integrated into laptops or USB keyboards) work with Windows 10. + +Windows stores biometric data that is used to implement Windows Hello securely on the local device only. The biometric data doesn’t roam and is never sent to external devices or servers. Because Windows Hello only stores biometric identification data on the device, there’s no single collection point an attacker can compromise to steal biometric data. + + +## The difference between Windows Hello and Windows Hello for Business + +- Individuals can create a PIN or biometric gesture on their personal devices for convenient sign-in. This use of Windows Hello is unique to the device on which it is set up, however it is not backed by asymmetric (public/private key) or certificate-based authentication. + +- Windows Hello for Business, which is configured by Group Policy or mobile device management (MDM) policy, uses key-based or certificate-based authentication. + +- Currently Active Directory accounts using Windows Hello are not backed by key-based or certificate-based authentication. Support for key-based or certificate-based authentication is on the roadmap for a future release. + +## Benefits of Windows Hello + +Reports of identity theft and large-scale hacking are frequent headlines. Nobody wants to be notified that their user name and password have been exposed. + +You may wonder [how a PIN can help protect a device better than a password](hello-why-pin-is-better-than-password.md). Passwords are shared secrets; they are entered on a device and transmitted over the network to the server. An intercepted account name and password can be used by anyone. Because they're stored on the server, a server breach can reveal those stored credentials. + +In Windows 10, Windows Hello replaces passwords. When the identity provider supports keys, the Windows Hello provisioning process creates a cryptographic key pair bound to the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), if a device has a TPM, or in software. Access to these keys and obtaining a signature to validate user possession of the private key is enabled only by the PIN or biometric gesture. The two-step verification that takes place during Windows Hello enrollment creates a trusted relationship between the identity provider and the user when the public portion of the public/private key pair is sent to an identity provider and associated with a user account. When a user enters the gesture on the device, the identity provider knows from the combination of Hello keys and gesture that this is a verified identity and provides an authentication token that allows Windows 10 to access resources and services. + +>[!NOTE] +>Windows Hello as a convenience sign-in uses regular user name and password authentication, without the user entering the password. + +![How authentication works in Windows Hello](images/authflow.png) + +Imagine that someone is looking over your shoulder as you get money from an ATM and sees the PIN that you enter. Having that PIN won't help them access your account because they don't have your ATM card. In the same way, learning your PIN for your device doesn't allow that attacker to access your account because the PIN is local to your specific device and doesn't enable any type of authentication from any other device. + +Windows Hello helps protect user identities and user credentials. Because the user doesn't enter a password (except during provisioning), it helps circumvent phishing and brute force attacks. It also helps prevent server breaches because Windows Hello credentials are an asymmetric key pair, which helps prevent replay attacks when these keys are protected by TPMs. + +For customers using a hybrid Active Directory and Azure Active Directorye environment, Windows Hello also enables Windows 10 Mobile devices to be used as [a remote credential](hello-prepare-people-to-use.md#bmk-remote) when signing into Windows 10 PCs. During the sign-in process, the Windows 10 PC can connect using Bluetooth to access Windows Hello on the user’s Windows 10 Mobile device. Because users carry their phone with them, Windows Hello makes implementing two-factor authentication across the enterprise less costly and complex than other solutions. + +> [!NOTE] +>  Phone sign-in is currently limited to select Technology Adoption Program (TAP) participants. + +  +## How Windows Hello for Business works: key points + +- Windows Hello credentials are based on certificate or asymmetrical key pair. Windows Hello credentials can be bound to the device, and the token that is obtained using the credential is also bound to the device. +- Identity provider (such as Active Directory, Azure AD, or a Microsoft account) validates user identity and maps the Windows Hello public key to a user account during the registration step. +- Keys can be generated in hardware (TPM 1.2 or 2.0 for enterprises, and TPM 2.0 for consumers) or software, based on the policy. +- Authentication is the two-factor authentication with the combination of a key or certificate tied to a device and something that the person knows (a PIN) or something that the person is (Windows Hello). The Windows Hello gesture does not roam between devices and is not shared with the server; it is stored locally on a device. +- Private key never leaves a device when using TPM. The authenticating server has a public key that is mapped to the user account during the registration process. +- PIN entry and biometric gesture both trigger Windows 10 to use the private key to cryptographically sign data that is sent to the identity provider. The identity provider verifies the user's identity and authenticates the user. +- Personal (Microsoft account) and corporate (Active Directory or Azure AD) accounts use a single container for keys. All keys are separated by identity providers' domains to help ensure user privacy. +- Certificate private keys can be protected by the Windows Hello container and the Windows Hello gesture. + +For details, see [How Windows Hello for Business works](hello-how-it-works.md). + +## Comparing key-based and certificate-based authentication + +Windows Hello for Business can use either keys (hardware or software) or certificates in hardware or software. Enterprises that have a public key infrastructure (PKI) for issuing and managing certificates can continue to use PKI in combination with Windows Hello. Enterprises that do not use PKI or want to reduce the effort associated with managing certificates can rely on key-based credentials for Windows Hello but still use certificates on their domain controllers as a root of trust. + + + +## Learn more + +[Implementing Windows Hello for Business at Microsoft](https://www.microsoft.com/itshowcase/Article/Content/830/Implementing-Windows-Hello-for-Business-at-Microsoft) + +[Introduction to Windows Hello](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=786649), video presentation on Microsoft Virtual Academy + +[What's new in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) in Windows Server Technical Preview](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=708533) + +[Windows Hello face authentication](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=626024) + +[Biometrics hardware guidelines](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=626995) + +[Windows 10: Disrupting the Revolution of Cyber-Threats with Revolutionary Security!](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=533890) + +[Windows 10: The End Game for Passwords and Credential Theft?](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=533891) + +[Authenticating identities without passwords through Windows Hello for Business](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=616778) + +## Related topics + +- [How Windows Hello for Business works](hello-how-it-works.md) +- [Manage Windows Hello for Business in your organization](hello-manage-in-organization.md) +- [Enable phone sign-in to PC or VPN](hello-enable-phone-signin.md) +- [Why a PIN is better than a password](hello-why-pin-is-better-than-password.md) +- [Prepare people to use Windows Hello](hello-prepare-people-to-use.md) +- [Windows Hello and password changes](hello-and-password-changes.md) +- [Windows Hello errors during PIN creation](hello-errors-during-pin-creation.md) +- [Event ID 300 - Windows Hello successfully created](hello-event-300.md) +- [Windows Hello biometrics in the enterprise](hello-biometrics-in-enterprise.md) +  diff --git a/windows/keep-secure/hello-manage-in-organization.md b/windows/keep-secure/hello-manage-in-organization.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..806905c587 --- /dev/null +++ b/windows/keep-secure/hello-manage-in-organization.md @@ -0,0 +1,390 @@ +--- +title: Manage Windows Hello in your organization (Windows 10) +description: You can create a Group Policy or mobile device management (MDM) policy that will implement Windows Hello for Business on devices running Windows 10. +ms.assetid: 47B55221-24BE-482D-BD31-C78B22AC06D8 +keywords: identity, PIN, biometric, Hello +ms.prod: w10 +ms.mktglfcycl: deploy +ms.sitesec: library +ms.pagetype: security +author: jdeckerMS +localizationpriority: high +--- + +# Manage Windows Hello for Business in your organization + +**Applies to** +- Windows 10 +- Windows 10 Mobile + +You can create a Group Policy or mobile device management (MDM) policy that will implement Windows Hello on devices running Windows 10. + +>[!IMPORTANT] +>The Group Policy setting **Turn on PIN sign-in** does not apply to Windows Hello for Business.

For these organizations, no additional work is necessary. When Windows 10 was released to general availability, Microsoft changed the behavior of the Office 365 Azure AD stack. When a user selects the option to join a work or school network, the device is automatically joined to the Office 365 tenant’s directory partition, a certificate is issued for the device, and it becomes eligible for Office 365 MDM if the tenant has subscribed to that feature. In addition, the user will be prompted to log on and, if MFA is enabled, to enter an MFA proof that Azure AD sends to his or her phone. +- **Organizations that use the free tier of Azure AD**. For these organizations, Microsoft has not enabled automatic domain join to Azure AD. Organizations that have signed up for the free tier have the option to enable or disable this feature, so automatic domain join won’t be enabled unless and until the organization’s administrators decide to enable it. When that feature is enabled, devices that join the Azure AD domain by using the Connect to work or school dialog box will be automatically registered with Windows Hello for Business support, but previously joined devices will not be registered. +- **Organizations that have subscribed to Azure AD Premium** have access to the full set of Azure AD MDM features. These features include controls to manage Windows Hello for Business.

How is a PIN different from (and better than) a password? +On the surface, a PIN looks much like a password. A PIN can be a set of numbers, but enterprise policy might allow complex PINs that include special characters and letters, both upper-case and lower-case. Something like **t758A!** could be an account password or a complex Hello PIN. It isn't the structure of a PIN (length, complexity) that makes it better than a password, it's how it works. + + +## PIN is tied to the device +One important difference between a password and a Hello PIN is that the PIN is tied to the specific device on which it was set up. That PIN is useless to anyone without that specific hardware. Someone who steals your password can sign in to your account from anywhere, but if they steal your PIN, they'd have to steal your physical device too! + +Even you can't use that PIN anywhere except on that specific device. If you want to sign in on multiple devices, you have to set up Hello on each device. + +## PIN is local to the device + +A password is transmitted to the server -- it can be intercepted in transmission or stolen from a server. A PIN is local to the device -- it isn't transmitted anywhere and it isn't stored on the server. +When the PIN is created, it establishes a trusted relationship with the identity provider and creates an asymmetric key pair that is used for authentication. When you enter your PIN, it unlocks the authentication key and uses the key to sign the request that is sent to the authenticating server. + +>[!NOTE] +>For details on how Hello uses asymetric key pairs for authentication, see [Windows Hello for Business](hello-identity-verification.md#benefits-of-windows-hello). +  +## PIN is backed by hardware + +The Hello PIN is backed by a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip, which is a secure crypto-processor that is designed to carry out cryptographic operations. The chip includes multiple physical security mechanisms to make it tamper resistant, and malicious software is unable to tamper with the security functions of the TPM. All Windows 10 Mobile phones and many modern laptops have TPM. + +User key material is generated and available within the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) of the user device, which protects it from attackers who want to capture the key material and reuse it. Because Hello uses asymmetrical key pairs, users credentials can’t be stolen in cases where the identity provider or websites the user accesses have been compromised. + +The TPM protects against a variety of known and potential attacks, including PIN brute-force attacks. After too many incorrect guesses, the device is locked. + +## PIN can be complex + +The Windows Hello for Business PIN is subject to the same set of IT management policies as a password, such as complexity, length, expiration, and history. Although we generally think of a PIN as a simple four-digit code, administrators can set [policies](implement-microsoft-passport-in-your-organization.md) for managed devices to require a PIN complexity similar to a password. You can require or block: special characters, uppercase characters, lowercase characters, and digits. + +## What if someone steals the laptop or phone? + +To compromise a Windows Hello credential that TPM protects, an attacker must have access to the physical device, and then must find a way to spoof the user’s biometrics or guess his or her PIN—and all of this must be done before TPM anti-hammer capabilities lock the device. +You can provide additional protection for laptops that don't have TPM by enablng BitLocker and setting a policy to limit failed sign-ins. + +**Configure BitLocker without TPM** +1.

This use of Hello provides a layer of protection by being unique to the device on which it is set up, however it is not backed by certificate-based authentication. - -- Windows Hello for Business, which is configured by Group Policy or MDM policy, uses key-based or certificate-based authentication. - -- Currently Active Directory accounts using Windows Hello are not backed by key-based or certificate-based authentication. Support for key-based or certificate-based authentication is on the roadmap for a future release. - -## Benefits of Windows Hello - -Reports of identity theft and large-scale hacking are frequent headlines. Nobody wants to be notified that their user name and password have been exposed. - -You may wonder [how a PIN can help protect a device better than a password](why-a-pin-is-better-than-a-password.md). Passwords are shared secrets; they are entered on a device and transmitted over the network to the server. An intercepted account name and password can be used by anyone. Because they're stored on the server, a server breach can reveal those stored credentials. - -In Windows 10, Hello replaces passwords. The Hello provisioning process creates a cryptographic key pair bound to the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), if a device has a TPM, or in software. Access to these keys and obtaining a signature to validate user possession of the private key is enabled only by the PIN or biometric gesture. The two-step verification that takes place during Hello enrollment creates a trusted relationship between the identity provider and the user when the public portion of the public/private key pair is sent to an identity provider and associated with a user account. When a user enters the gesture on the device, the identify provider knows from the combination of Hello keys and gesture that this is a verified identity and provides an authentication token that allows Windows 10 to access resources and services. In addition, during the registration process, the attestation claim is produced for every identity provider to cryptographically prove that the Hello keys are tied to TPM. During registration, when the attestation claim is not presented to the identity provider, the identity provider must assume that the Hello key is created in software. - -![how authentication works in windows hello](images/authflow.png) - -Imagine that someone is looking over your shoulder as you get money from an ATM and sees the PIN that you enter. Having that PIN won't help them access your account because they don't have your ATM card. In the same way, learning your PIN for your device doesn't allow that attacker to access your account because the PIN is local to your specific device and doesn't enable any type of authentication from any other device. - -Hello helps protect user identities and user credentials. Because no passwords are used, it helps circumvent phishing and brute force attacks. It also helps prevent server breaches because Hello credentials are an asymmetric key pair, which helps prevent replay attacks when these keys are protected by TPMs. - -Hello also enables Windows 10 Mobile devices to be used as [a remote credential](prepare-people-to-use-microsoft-passport.md#bmk-remote) when signing into Windows 10 PCs. During the sign-in process, the Windows 10 PC can connect using Bluetooth to access Hello on the user’s Windows 10 Mobile device. Because users carry their phone with them, Hello makes implementing two-factor authentication across the enterprise less costly and complex than other solutions. - -> [!NOTE] ->  Phone sign-in is currently limited to select Technology Adoption Program (TAP) participants. - -  -## How Windows Hello for Business works: key points - -- Hello credentials are based on certificate or asymmetrical key pair. Hello credentials are bound to the device, and the token that is obtained using the credential is also bound to the device. -- Identify provider (such as Active Directory, Azure AD, or a Microsoft account) validates user identity and maps Hello's public key to a user account during the registration step. -- Keys can be generated in hardware (TPM 1.2 or 2.0 for enterprises, and TPM 2.0 for consumers) or software, based on the policy. -- Authentication is the two-factor authentication with the combination of a key or certificate tied to a device and something that the person knows (a PIN) or something that the person is (Windows Hello). The Hello gesture does not roam between devices and is not shared with the server; it is stored locally on a device. -- Private key never leaves a device. The authenticating server has a public key that is mapped to the user account during the registration process. -- PIN entry and biometric gesture both trigger Windows 10 to verify the user's identity and authenticate using Hello keys or certificates. -- Personal (Microsoft account) and corporate (Active Directory or Azure AD) accounts use a single container for keys. All keys are separated by identity providers' domains to help ensure user privacy. -- Certificate private keys can be protected by the Hello container and the Hello gesture. - - -## Comparing key-based and certificate-based authentication - -Windows Hello for Business can use either keys (hardware or software) or certificates with keys in hardware or software to confirm identity. Enterprises that have a public key infrastructure (PKI) for issuing and managing certificates can continue to use PKI in combination with Hello. Enterprises that do not use PKI or want to reduce the effort associated with managing certificates can rely on key-based credentials for Hello. - -Hardware-based keys, which are generated by TPM, provide the highest level of assurance. When the TPM is manufactured, an Endorsement Key (EK) certificate is resident in the TPM. This EK certificate creates a root trust for all other keys that are generated on this TPM. -EK certification is used to generate an attestation identity key (AIK) certificate issued by a Microsoft certificate authority. This AIK certificate can be used as an attestation claim to prove to identity providers that the Hello keys are generated on the same TPM. The Microsoft certificate authority (CA) generates the AIK certificate per device, per user, and per IDP to help ensure that user privacy is protected. - -When identity providers such as Active Directory or Azure AD enroll a certificate in Hello, Windows 10 will support the same set of scenarios as a smart card. When the credential type is a key, only key-based trust and operations will be supported. - -## Learn more - -[Introduction to Windows Hello](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=786649), video presentation on Microsoft Virtual Academy - -[What's new in Active Directory Domain Services for Windows Server 2016](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=708533) - -[Windows Hello face authentication](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=626024) - -[Biometrics hardware guidelines](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=626995) - -[Windows 10: Disrupting the Revolution of Cyber-Threats with Revolutionary Security!](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=533890) - -[Windows 10: The End Game for Passwords and Credential Theft?](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=533891) - -[Authenticating identities without passwords through Microsoft Passport](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=616778) - -[Microsoft Passport guide](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=691928) - -## Related topics - -[Implement Windows Hello for Business in your organization](implement-microsoft-passport-in-your-organization.md) - -[Enable phone sign-in to PC or VPN](enable-phone-signin-to-pc-and-vpn.md) - -[Why a PIN is better than a password](why-a-pin-is-better-than-a-password.md) - -[Prepare people to use Windows Hello](prepare-people-to-use-microsoft-passport.md) - -[Windows Hello and password changes](microsoft-passport-and-password-changes.md) - -[Windows Hello errors during PIN creation](microsoft-passport-errors-during-pin-creation.md) - -[Event ID 300 - Windows Hello successfully created](passport-event-300.md) - -[Windows Hello biometrics in the enterprise](windows-hello-in-enterprise.md) -  diff --git a/windows/keep-secure/manage-tpm-commands.md b/windows/keep-secure/manage-tpm-commands.md index 71f3c2229e..c95d30f931 100644 --- a/windows/keep-secure/manage-tpm-commands.md +++ b/windows/keep-secure/manage-tpm-commands.md @@ -77,11 +77,7 @@ The following procedures describe how to manage the TPM command lists.

It highlights specific capabilities of these technologies that help mitigate threats from conventional credentials and provides guidance about how to design and deploy these technologies as part of your Windows 10 rollout. - ->[!NOTE] ->For information about Windows Hello for Business in Windows 10, version 1607, see [Manage identity verification using Windows Hello for Business](manage-identity-verification-using-microsoft-passport.md). - -A fundamental assumption about information security is that a system can identify who’s using it. In identifying a user, the system can decide whether the user has identified himself or herself appropriately (a process known as authentication), and then determine what that properly authenticated user should be able to do (a process known as authorization). The overwhelming majority of computer systems deployed throughout the world depend on user credentials as a means of making authentication and authorization decisions, and that means that these systems depend on reusable, user-created passwords for their security. The oft-cited maxim that authentication can involve “something you know, something you have, or something you are” neatly highlights the issue: a reusable password is an authentication factor all by itself, so anyone who knows the password can impersonate the user who owns it. - -## Problems with traditional credentials - -Ever since the mid-1960s, when Fernando Corbató and his team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology championed the introduction of the password, users and administrators have had to deal with the use of passwords for user authentication and authorization. Over time, the state of the art for password storage and use has advanced somewhat (with password hashing and salt being the two most noticeable improvements), but we’re still faced with two serious problems: passwords are easy to clone and easy to steal. Implementation faults may render them insecure, and users have a hard time balancing convenience and security. - -**Credential theft** - -The biggest risk of passwords is simple: an attacker can steal them easily. Every place a password is entered, processed, or stored is vulnerable. For example, an attacker can steal a collection of passwords or hashes from an authentication server by eavesdropping on network traffic to an application server, by implanting malware in an application or on a device, by logging user keystrokes on a device, or by watching to see which characters a user types — and those are just the most common attack methods. One can enact more exotic attacks to steal one or many passwords. - -The risk of theft is driven by the fact that the authentication factor the password represents is the password. Without additional authentication factors, the system assumes that anyone who knows the password is the authorized user. -Another, related risk is that of credential replay, in which an attacker captures a valid credential by eavesdropping on an insecure network, and then replays it later to impersonate a valid user. Most authentication protocols (including Kerberos and OAuth) protect against replay attacks by including a time stamp in the credential exchange process, but that protects the token that the authentication system issues, not the password that the user provides to get the ticket in the first place. - -**Credential reuse** - -The common approach of using an email address as the user name makes a bad problem worse. An attacker who successfully recovers a user name–password pair from a compromised system can then try that same pair on other systems. Surprisingly often, this tactic works to allow attackers to springboard from a compromised system into other systems. The use of email addresses as user names leads to other problems, too, which we’ll explore later in this guide. - -### - -**Trading convenience for complexity** -Most security is a tradeoff between convenience and security: the more secure a system is, the less convenient it will typically be for users. Although system designers and implementers have a broad range of tools to make their systems more secure, users get a vote, too. When users perceive that a security mechanism gets in the way of what they want to do, they often look for ways to circumvent it. This behavior leads to an arms race of sorts, with users adopting strategies to minimize the effort required to comply with their organization’s password policies as those policies evolve. - -**Password complexity** - -If the major risk to passwords is that an attacker might guess them through brute-force analysis, it might seem reasonable to require users to include a broader character set in their passwords or make them longer, but as a practical matter, password length and complexity requirements have two negative side effects. First, they encourage password reuse. Estimates by [Herley, Florêncio, and van Oorschot](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=627392) calculate that the stronger a password is, the more likely it is to be reused. Because users put more effort into the creation and memorization of strong passwords, they are much more likely to use the same credential across multiple systems. Second, adding length or character set complexity to passwords does not necessarily make them more difficult to guess. For example, P@ssw0rd1 is nine characters long and includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, but it’s easily guessed by many of the common password-cracking tools now available on the Internet. These tools can attack passwords by using a pre-computed dictionary of common passwords, or they can start with a base word such as password, and then apply common character substitutions. A completely random eight-character password might therefore actually take longer to guess than P@ssw0rd123. - -**Password expiration** - -Because a reusable password is the only authentication factor in password-based systems, designers have attempted to reduce the risk of credential theft and reuse. One common method for doing so is the use of limited-lifetime passwords. Some systems allow for passwords that can be used only once, but by far the more common approach is to make passwords expire after a certain period. Limiting the useful lifetime of a password puts a cap on how long a stolen password will be useful to an attacker. This practice helps protect against cases where a long-lived password is stolen, held, and used for a long time, but it also harkens back to the time when password cracking was impractical for everyone except nation state-level attackers. A smart attacker would attempt to steal passwords rather than crack them because of the time penalty associated with password cracking. -The widespread availability of commodity password-cracking tools and the massive computing power available through mechanisms such as GPU-powered crackers or distributed cloud-based cracking tools has reversed this equation so that it is often more effective for an attacker to crack a password than to try to steal it. In addition, the widespread availability of self-service [password-reset mechanisms](#password-reset) means that an attacker needs only a short window of time during which the password is valid to change the password and thus reset the validity period. Relatively few enterprise networks provide self-service password-reset mechanisms, but they are common for Internet services. In addition, many users use the secure credential store on Windows and Mac OS X systems to store valuable passwords for Internet services, so an attacker who can compromise the operating system password may be able to obtain a treasure trove of other service passwords at no cost. -Finally, overly short timelines for password expiration can tempt users to make small changes in their passwords at each expiration period — for example, moving from password123 to password456 to password789. This approach reduces the work necessary to crack the password, especially if the attacker knows any of the old passwords. - -### - -**Password-reset mechanisms** - -To let users better manage their own passwords, some services provide a way for users to change their own password. Some implementations require users to log on with their current password, while others allow users to select the **Forgot my password** option, which sends an email to the user’s registered email address. The problem with these mechanisms is that many of them are implemented such that an attacker can exploit them. For example, an attacker who can successfully guess or steal a user’s email password can merrily request password resets for all of the victim’s other accounts, because the reset emails go to the compromised account. For this reason, most enterprise networks are configured so that only administrators can reset user passwords; for example, Active Directory supports the use of a **Password must be changed on next logon** flag so that after the administrator resets a password, the user can reset the password only after providing the administrator-set password. Some mobile device management (MDM) systems support similar functionality for mobile devices. - -**User password carelessness** - -An insidious problem makes these design and implementation weaknesses worse: some users just aren’t careful with their passwords. They write them down in insecure locations, choose easy-to-guess passwords, take minimal (if any) precautions against malware, or even give their passwords to other people. These users aren’t necessarily careless because they don’t care; they want to get things done, and overly stringent password length or expiration policies or too many passwords hinders them. - -**Mitigate credential risks** - -Given the issues described so far, it might seem obvious that reusable passwords are a security hazard. The argument is simple: adding authentication factors reduces the value of the passwords themselves, because even a successful password theft won’t let an attacker log on to a system unless he or she also has the associated additional factors. Unfortunately, this simple argument has many practical complications. Security and operating system vendors have tried to solve the problems that reusable credentials pose for decades — with limited success. -The most obvious mitigation to the risks reusable passwords pose is to add one or more authentication factors. At different times over the past 30 years, different vendors have attempted to solve this problem by calling for the use of biometric identifiers (including fingerprints, iris and retina scans, and hand geometry), software-based and hardware-based tokens, physical and virtual smart cards, and voice or Short Message Service (SMS) authentication through the user’s mobile phone. A detailed description of each of these authenticators and its pros and cons is outside the scope of this guide, but no matter which authentication method you choose, core challenges have limited adoption of all Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) solutions, including: -- **Infrastructure complexity and cost.** Any system that requires the user to provide an additional authentication factor at the point of access has to have a way to collect that information. Although it’s possible to retrofit fielded hardware by adding fingerprint readers, eye scanners, smart card readers, and so on, few enterprises have been willing to take on the cost and support burden required to do so. -- **Lack of standardization.** Although Microsoft included operating system–level smart card support as part of the Windows Vista operating system, smart card and reader vendors were free to continue to ship their own drivers, as were manufacturers of other authentication devices. Lack of standardization led to both application and support fragmentation, which means that it wasn’t always possible to mix and match solutions within an enterprise, even when the manufacturers of those solutions advertised them as being compatible. -- **Backward compatibility.** Retrofitting already-deployed operating systems and applications to use MFA has proven an extremely difficult task. Nearly three years after its release, Microsoft Office 2013 is finally getting support for MFA. The vast majority of both commercial and custom line-of-business (LOB) applications will never be retrofitted to take advantage of any authentication system other than what the underlying operating system provides. -- **User inconvenience.** Solutions that require users to obtain, keep track of, and use physical tokens are often unpopular. If users have to have a particular token for remote access or other scenarios that are supposed to make things more convenient, they tend to become quickly dissatisfied with the burden of keeping up with an additional device. This pushback is multiplied for solutions that have to be attached to computers (such as smart card readers) because such solutions introduce problems of portability, driver support, and operating system and application integration. -- **Device compatibility.** Not every hardware form factor supports every authentication method. For example, despite occasional feeble efforts from vendors, no market for mobile phone-compatible smart card readers ever emerged. -So when Microsoft first implemented smart cards as an authenticator for remote network access, one key limitation was that employees could log on only from desktop or laptop computers that had smart card readers. Any authentication method that relies on additional hardware or software may run into this problem. For example, several popular “soft token” systems rely on mobile apps that run on a limited number of mobile hardware platforms. -Another pesky problem has to do with institutional knowledge and maturity. Strong authentication systems are complex. They have lots of components, and they can be expensive to design, maintain, and operate. For some enterprises, the additional cost and overhead of maintaining an in-house public key infrastructure (PKI) to issue smart cards or the burden of managing add-on devices exceeds the value they perceive in having stronger authentication. This is a special case of the common problem that financial institutions face: if the cost of fraud reduction is higher than the cost of the fraud itself, it’s hard to justify the economics of better fraud-prevention measures. - -## Solve credential problems - -Solving the problems that passwords pose is tricky. Tightening password policies alone won’t do it: users may just recycle, share, or write down passwords. Although user education is critical for authentication security, education alone doesn’t eliminate the problem, either. - -As you’ve seen, additional authenticators won’t necessarily help if the new authentication systems add complexity, cost, or fragility. In Windows 10, Microsoft addresses these problems with two new technologies: Windows Hello and Microsoft Passport. Working together, these technologies help increase both security and user convenience: -- Microsoft Passport replaces passwords with strong two-factor authentication (2FA) by verifying existing credentials and by creating a device-specific credential that a user gesture (either biometric or PIN-based) protects. This combination effectively replaces physical and virtual smart cards as well as reusable passwords for logon and access control. -- Windows Hello provides reliable, fully integrated biometric authentication based on facial recognition or fingerprint matching. Windows Hello uses a combination of special infrared (IR) cameras and software to increase accuracy and guard against spoofing. Major hardware vendors are shipping devices that have integrated Windows Hello-compatible cameras, and fingerprint reader hardware can be used or added to devices that don’t currently have it. On devices that support Windows Hello, an easy biometric gesture unlocks users’ Microsoft Passport credentials. - -## What is Windows Hello? - -Windows Hello is the name Microsoft has given to the new biometric sign-in system built into Windows 10. Because it is built directly into the operating system, Windows Hello allows face or fingerprint identification to unlock users’ devices. Authentication happens when the user supplies his or her unique biometric identifier to access the device-specific Microsoft Passport credentials, which means that an attacker who steals the device can’t log on to it unless that attacker has the PIN. The Windows secure credential store protects biometric data on the device. By using Windows Hello to unlock a device, the authorized user gains access to all of his or her Windows experience, apps, data, websites, and services. - -The Windows Hello authenticator is known as a Hello. A Hello is unique to the combination of an individual device and a specific user; it doesn’t roam among devices, isn’t shared with a server, and cannot easily be extracted from a device. If multiple users share a device, each user gets a unique Hello for that device. You can think of a Hello as a token you can use to unlock (or release) a stored credential: the Hello itself doesn’t authenticate you to an app or service, but it releases credentials that can. - -At the launch of Windows 10, the operating system supported three Hello types: -- **PIN.** Before you can use Windows Hello to enable biometrics on a device, you must choose a PIN as your initial Hello gesture. After you’ve set a PIN, you can add biometric gestures if you want to. You can always use the PIN gesture to release your credentials, so you can still unlock and use your device even if you can’t use your preferred biometric because of an injury or because the sensor is unavailable or not working properly. -- **Facial recognition.** This type uses special cameras that see in IR light, which allows them to reliably tell the difference between a photograph or scan and a living person. Several vendors are shipping external cameras that incorporate this technology, and major laptop manufacturers are incorporating it into their devices, as well. -- **Fingerprint recognition.** This type uses a capacitive fingerprint sensor to scan your fingerprint. Fingerprint readers have been available for Windows computers for years, but the current generation of sensors is significantly more reliable and less error-prone. Most existing fingerprint readers (whether external or integrated into laptops or USB keyboards) work with Windows 10. -Biometric data used to implement these Hello gestures is stored securely on the local device only. It doesn’t roam and is never sent to external devices or servers. Because Windows Hello only stores biometric identification data on the device, there’s no single collection point an attacker can compromise to steal biometric data. Breaches that expose biometrics collected and stored for other uses (such as fingerprints collected and stored for law enforcement or background check purposes) don’t pose a significant threat: an attacker who steals biometrics literally has only a template of the identifier, and that template cannot easily be converted to a form that the attacker can present to a biometric sensor. The data path for Windows Hello-compatible sensors is resistant to tampering, too, which further reduces the chance that an attacker will be able to successfully inject faked biometric data. In addition, before an attacker can even attempt to inject data into the sensor pipeline, that attacker must gain physical access to the device — and an attacker who can do that can mount several other, less difficult attacks. -Windows Hello offers several major benefits. First, when combined with Microsoft Passport, it effectively solves the problems of credential theft and sharing. Because an attacker must obtain both the device and the selected biometric, it is much more difficult to gain access without the user’s knowledge. Second, the use of biometrics means that users benefit from having a simple authenticator that’s always with them: there’s nothing to forget, lose, or leave behind. Instead of worrying about memorizing long, complex passwords, users can take advantage of a convenient, secure method for signing in to all their Windows devices. Finally, in many cases, there’s nothing additional to deploy or manage to use Windows Hello (although Microsoft Passport may require additional deployment, as described later in this guide). Windows Hello support is built directly into the operating system, and users or enterprises can add compatible biometric devices to provide biometric gesture recognition, either as part of a coordinated rollout or as individual users or groups decide to add the necessary sensors. Windows Hello is part of Windows, so no additional deployment is required to start using it. - -## What is Microsoft Passport? - -Windows Hello provides a robust way for a device to recognize an individual user; that addresses the first part of the path between a user and a requested service or data item. After the device has recognized the user, however, it still must authenticate the user before deciding whether to grant access to a requested resource. Microsoft Passport provides strong 2FA, fully integrated into Windows, that replaces reusable passwords with the combination of a specific device and a Hello or PIN. Microsoft Passport isn’t just a replacement for traditional 2FA systems, though. It’s conceptually similar to smart cards: authentication is performed by using cryptographic primitives instead of string comparisons, and the user’s key material is secure inside tamper-resistant hardware. Microsoft Passport doesn’t require the extra infrastructure components required for smart card deployment, either. In particular, you don’t need a PKI if you don’t currently have one. Microsoft Passport combines the major advantage of smart cards — deployment flexibility for virtual smart cards and robust security for physical smart cards — without any of their drawbacks. - -Microsoft Passport offers four significant advantages over the current state of Windows authentication: it’s more flexible, it’s based on industry standards, it’s an effective risk mitigator, and it’s ready for the enterprise. Let’s look at each of these advantages in more detail. - -**It’s flexible** - -Microsoft Passport offers unprecedented flexibility. Although the format and use of reusable passwords are fixed, Microsoft Passport gives both administrators and users options to manage authentication. First and foremost, Microsoft Passport works with both biometric identifiers and PINs, so users’ credentials are protected even on devices that don’t support biometrics. Users can even use their phone to release their credentials instead of a PIN or biometric gesture on the main device. Microsoft Passport seamlessly takes advantage of the hardware of the devices in use; as users upgrade to newer devices, Microsoft Passport is ready to use them, and organizations can upgrade existing devices by adding biometric sensors where appropriate. -Microsoft Passport offers flexibility in the datacenter, too. To deploy it, in some modes you must add Windows Server 2016 domain controllers to your Active Directory environment, but you don’t have to replace or remove your existing Active Directory servers — the servers required for Microsoft Passport build on and add capability to your existing infrastructure. You don’t have to change the domain or forest functional level, and you can either add on-premises servers or use Microsoft Azure Active Directory to deploy Microsoft Passport on your network. The choice of which users you should enable for Microsoft Passport use is completely up to you: you choose the policies and devices to support and which authentication factors you want users to have access to. This makes it easy to use Microsoft Passport to supplement existing smart card or token deployments by adding strong credential protection to users who don’t currently have it or to deploy Microsoft Passport in scenarios that call for extra protection for sensitive resources or systems (described in the [Design a Microsoft Passport deployment](#design) section). - -**It’s standardized** - -Both software vendors and enterprise customers have come to realize that proprietary identity and authentication systems are a dead end. The future lies with open, interoperable systems that allow secure authentication across a variety of devices, LOBs, and external applications and websites. To this end, a group of industry players formed the Fast IDentity Online Alliance (FIDO), a nonprofit organization intended to address the lack of interoperability among strong authentication devices as well as the problems users face when they have to create and remember multiple user names and passwords. The FIDO Alliance plans to change the nature of authentication by developing specifications that define an open, scalable, interoperable set of mechanisms that supplant reliance on passwords to securely authenticate users of online services. This new standard for security devices and browser plug ins will allow any website or cloud application to interface with a broad variety of existing and future FIDO-enabled devices that the user has for online security. For more information, see the [FIDO Alliance website](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=627393). - -In 2013, Microsoft joined the FIDO Alliance. FIDO standards enable a universal framework that a global ecosystem delivers for a consistent and greatly improved user experience of strong passwordless authentication. The FIDO 1.0 specifications, published in December 2014, provide for two types of authentications: passwordless (known as the Universal Authentication Framework \[UAF\]) and 2nd Factor (U2F). The FIDO Alliance is working on a set of 2.0 proposals to combine the best parts of the U2F and UAF FIDO 1.0 standards. Microsoft is actively contributing to the proposals, and Windows 10 is a reference implementation of these concepts. In addition to supporting those protocols, the Windows implementation covers other aspects of the end-to-end experience that the specification does not cover, including user interface to, storage of, and protection for users’ device keys and the tokens issued after authentication; supporting administrator policies; and providing deployment tools. Microsoft expects to continue working with the FIDO Alliance as the FIDO 2.0 specification moves forward. Interoperability of FIDO products is a hallmark of FIDO authentication. Microsoft believes that bringing a FIDO solution to market will help solve a critical need for enterprises and consumers alike. - -**It’s effective** - -Microsoft Passport effectively mitigates two major security risks. First, by eliminating the use of reusable passwords for logon, it reduces the risk that a user’s credential will be copied or reused. On devices that support the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) standard, user key material can be stored in the user device’s TPM, which makes it more difficult for an attacker to capture the key material and reuse it. For devices that lack TPM, Microsoft Passport can encrypt and store credential data in software, but administrators can disable this feature to force a “TPM or nothing” deployment. -Second, because Microsoft Passport doesn’t depend on a single, centralized server, the risk of compromise from a breach of that server is removed. Although an attacker could theoretically compromise a single device, there’s no single point of attack that an intruder can leverage to gain widespread access to the environment. - -**It’s enterprise-ready** - -Every edition of Windows 10 includes Microsoft Passport functionality for individual use; enterprise and personal users can take advantage of Microsoft Passport to protect their individual credentials with compatible applications and services. In addition, enterprises whose users are running Windows 10 Professional and Windows 10 Enterprise have the ability to use Microsoft Passport for Work, an enhanced version of Microsoft Passport that includes the ability to centrally manage Microsoft Passport settings for PIN strength and biometric use through Group Policy Objects (GPOs). - -## How Microsoft Passport works - -To use Microsoft Passport to sign in with an identity provider (IDP), a user needs a configured device, which means that the Microsoft Passport life cycle starts when you configure a device for Microsoft Passport use. When the device is set up, its user can use the device to authenticate to services. In this section, we explore how device registration works, what happens when a user requests authentication, how key material is stored and processed, and which servers and infrastructure components are involved in different parts of this process. - -**Register a new user or device** - -A goal of Microsoft Passport is to allow a user to open a brand-new device, securely join an organizational network to download and manage organizational data, and create a new Hello gesture to secure the device. Microsoft refers to the process of setting up a device for use with Microsoft Passport as registration. -> **Note:**  This is separate from the organizational configuration required to use Microsoft Passport with Active Directory or Azure AD; that configuration is discussed later in this guide. This configuration must be completed before users can begin to register. -  -The registration process works like this: -1. The user configures an account on the device. - This account can be a local account on the device, a domain account stored in the on-premises Active Directory domain, a Microsoft account, or an Azure AD account. For a new device, this step may be as simple as logging on with a Microsoft account. Logging on with a Microsoft account on a Windows 10 device automatically sets up Microsoft Passport on the device; users don’t have to do anything extra to enable it. -2. To log on using that account, the user has to enter the existing credentials for it. - The IDP that “owns” the account receives the credentials and authenticates the user. This IDP authentication may include the use of an existing second authentication factor, or proof. For example, a user who registers a new device by using an Azure AD account will have to provide an SMS-based proof that Azure AD sends. -3. When the user has provided the proof to the IDP, the user enables PIN authentication (Figure 1). - The PIN will be associated with this particular credential. - - ![figure 1](images/passport-fig1.png) - - Figure 1. Set up a PIN in the **Account Settings** control panel item - - When the user sets the PIN, it becomes usable immediately (Figure 2). - - ![figure 2](images/passport-fig2-pinimmeduse.png) - - Figure 2. When set, the PIN is immediately usable - -Remember that Microsoft Passport depends on pairing a device and a credential, so the PIN chosen is associated only with the combination of the active account and that specific device. The PIN must comply with whatever length and complexity policy the account administrator has configured; this policy is enforced on the device side. Other registration scenarios that Microsoft Passport supports are: - -- A user who upgrades from the Windows 8.1 operating system will log on by using his or her existing enterprise password. That triggers MFA from the IDP side; after receiving and returning a proof, such as a text message or voice code, the IDP authenticates the user to the upgraded Windows 10 device, and the user can set his or her PIN. -- A user who typically uses a smart card to log on will be prompted to set up a PIN the first time he or she logs on to a Windows 10 device the user has not previously logged on to. -- A user who typically uses a virtual smart card to log on will be prompted to set up a PIN the first time he or she logs on to a Windows 10 device the user has not previously logged on to. - -When the user has completed this process, Microsoft Passport generates a new public–private key pair on the device. The TPM generates and stores this private key; if the device doesn’t have a TPM, the private key is encrypted and stored in software. This initial key is referred to as the protector key. It’s associated only with a single gesture; in other words, if a user registers a PIN, a fingerprint, and a face on the same device, each of those gestures will have a unique protector key. The protector key securely wraps the authentication key for a specific container. Each container has only one authentication key, but there can be multiple copies of that key wrapped with different unique protector keys (each of which is associated with a unique gesture). Microsoft Passport also generates an administrative key that the user or administrator can use to reset credentials, when necessary. In addition to the protector key, TPM-enabled devices generate a block of data that contains attestations from the TPM. - -At this point, the user has a PIN gesture defined on the device and an associated protector key for that PIN gesture. That means he or she is able to securely log on to the device with the PIN and thus that he or she can establish a trusted session with the device to add support for a biometric gesture as an alternative for the PIN. When you add a biometric gesture, it follows the same basic sequence: the user authenticates to the system by using his or her PIN, and then registers the new biometric (“smile for the camera!”), after which Windows generates a unique key pair and stores it securely. Future logons can then use either the PIN or the registered biometric gestures. - -**What’s a container?** - -You’ll often hear the term *container* used in reference to MDM solutions. Microsoft Passport uses the term, too, but in a slightly different way. Container in this context is shorthand for a logical grouping of key material or data. Windows 10 supports two containers: the default container holds user key material for personal accounts, including key material associated with the user’s Microsoft account or with other consumer identity providers, and the enterprise container holds credentials associated with a workplace or school account. - -The enterprise container exists only on devices that have been registered with an organization; it contains key material for the enterprise IDP, such as on-premises Active Directory or Azure AD. The enterprise container contains only key data for Active Directory or Azure AD. If the enterprise container is present on a device, it’s unlocked separately from the default container, which maintains separation of data and access across personal and enterprise credentials and services. For example, a user who uses a biometric gesture to log on to a managed computer can separately unlock his or her personal container by entering a PIN when logging on to make a purchase from a website. -These containers are logically separate. Organizations don’t have any control over the credentials users store in the default container, and applications that authenticate against services in the default container can’t use credentials from the enterprise container. However, individual Windows applications can use the Microsoft Passport application programming interfaces (APIs) to request access to credentials as appropriate, so that both consumer and LOB applications can be enhanced to take advantage of Microsoft Passport. - -It’s important to keep in mind that there are no physical containers on disk, in the registry, or elsewhere. Containers are logical units used to group related items. The keys, certificates, and credentials Microsoft Passport stores are protected without the creation of actual containers or folders. - -Each container actually contains a set of keys, some of which are used to protect other keys. Figure 3 shows an example: the protector key is used to encrypt the authentication key, and the authentication key is used to encrypt the individual keys stored in the container. - -![figure 3](images/passport-fig3-logicalcontainer.png) - -Figure 3. Each logical container holds one or more sets of keys - -Containers can contain several types of key material: - -- An *authentication key*, which is always an asymmetric public–private key pair. This key pair is generated during registration. It must be unlocked each time it’s accessed, by using either the user’s PIN or a previously generated biometric gesture. The authentication key exists until the user resets the PIN, at which time a new key will be generated. When the new key is generated, all the key material that the old key previously protected must be decrypted and re-encrypted using the new key. -- *Virtual smart card keys* are generated when a virtual smart card is generated and stored securely in the container. They’re available whenever the user’s container is unlocked. -- *Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) keys and certificates*, which a certification authority (CA) generates. The keys associated with the user’s S/MIME certificate can be stored in a Microsoft Passport container so they’re available to the user whenever the container is unlocked. -- The *IDP key*. These keys can be either symmetric or asymmetric, depending on which IDP you use. A single container may contain zero or more IDP keys, with some restrictions (for example, the enterprise container can contain zero or one IDP keys). IDP keys are stored in the container as illustrated in Figure 3. For certificate-based Microsoft Passport for Work, when the container is unlocked, applications that require access to the IDP key or key pair can request access. IDP keys are used to sign or encrypt authentication requests or tokens sent from this machine to the IDP. IDP keys are typically long lived but could have a shorter lifetime than the authentication key. -Microsoft accounts, Active Directory accounts, and Azure AD accounts all require the use of asymmetric key pairs. The device generates public and private keys, registers the public key with the IDP (which stores it for later verification), and securely stores the private key. For enterprises, the IDP keys can be generated in two ways: -- The IDP key pair can be associated with an enterprise CA through the Windows Network Device Enrollment Service (NDES), described more fully in [Network Device Enrollment Service Guidance](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=733947). In this case, Microsoft Passport requests a new certificate with the same key as the certificate from the existing PKI. This option lets organizations that have an existing PKI continue to use it where appropriate. Given that many applications, such as popular virtual private network systems, require the use of certificates, when you deploy Microsoft Passport in this mode, it allows a faster transition away from user passwords while still preserving certificate-based functionality. This option also allows the enterprise to store additional certificates in the protected container. -- The IDP can generate the IDP key pair directly, which allows quick, lower-overhead deployment of Microsoft Passport in environments that don’t have or need a PKI. - -**How keys are protected** - -Any time key material is generated, it must be protected against attack. The most robust way to do this is through specialized hardware. There’s a long history of using hardware security modules (HSMs) to generate, store, and process keys for security-critical applications. Smart cards are a special type of HSM, as are devices that are compliant with the Trusted Computing Group TPM standard. Wherever possible, the Microsoft Passport for Work implementation takes advantage of onboard TPM hardware to generate, store, and process keys. However, Microsoft Passport and Microsoft Passport for Work do not require an onboard TPM. Administrators can choose to allow key operations in software, in which case any user who has (or can escalate to) administrative rights on the machine can use the IDP keys to sign requests. As an alternative, in some scenarios, devices that don’t have a TPM can be remotely authenticated by using a device that does have a TPM, in which case all the sensitive operations are performed with the TPM and no key material is exposed. - -Whenever possible, Microsoft recommends the use of TPM hardware. The TPM protects against a variety of known and potential attacks, including PIN brute-force attacks. The TPM provides an additional layer of protection after an account lockout, too. When the TPM has locked the key material, the user will have to reset the PIN (which means he or she will have to use MFA to reauthenticate to the IDP before the IDP allows him or her to re-register). Resetting the PIN means that all keys and certificates encrypted with the old key material will be removed. - -**Authentication** - -When a user wants to access protected key material — perhaps to use an Internet site that requires a logon or to access protected resources on a corporate intranet — the authentication process begins with the user entering a PIN or biometric gesture to unlock the device, a process sometimes called *releasing the key*. Think of it like using a physical key to unlock a door: before you can unlock the door, you need to remove the key from your pocket or purse. On a personal device that’s connected to an organizational network, users will use their personal PIN or biometric to release the key; on a device joined to an on-premises or Azure AD domain, they will use the organizational PIN. -This process unlocks the protector key for the primary container on the device. When that container is unlocked, applications (and thus the user) can use whatever IDP keys reside inside the container. - -These keys are used to sign requests that are sent to the IDP, requesting access to specified resources. It’s important to understand that although the keys are unlocked, applications cannot use them at will. Applications can use specific APIs to request operations that require key material for particular actions (for example, decrypt an email message or log on to a website). Access through these APIs doesn’t require explicit validation through a user gesture, and the key material isn’t exposed to the requesting application. Rather, the application asks for authentication, encryption, or decryption, and the Microsoft Passport layer handles the actual work and returns the results. Where appropriate, an application can request a forced authentication even on an unlocked device. Windows prompts the user to reenter the PIN or perform an authentication gesture, which adds an extra level of protection for sensitive data or actions. For example, you can configure the Windows Store to require reauthentication any time a user purchases an application, even though the same account and PIN or gesture were already used to unlock the device. - -The actual authentication process works like this: - -1. The client sends an empty authentication request to the IDP. (This is merely for the handshake process.) -2. The IDP returns a challenge, known as a *nonce*. -3. The device signs the nonce with the appropriate private key. -4. The device returns the original nonce, the signed nonce, and the ID of the key used to sign the nonce. -5. The IDP fetches the public key that the key ID specified, uses it to verify the signature on the nonce, and verifies that the nonce the device returned matches the original. -6. If all the checks in step 5 succeed, the IDP returns two data items: a symmetric key, which is encrypted with the device’s public key, and a security token, which is encrypted with the symmetric key. -7. The device uses its private key to decrypt the symmetric key, and then uses that symmetric key to decrypt the token. -8. The device makes a normal authentication request for the original resource, presenting the token from the IDP as its proof of authentication. - -When the IDP validates the signature, it is verifying that the request came from the specified user and device. The private key specific to the device signs the nonce, which allows the IDP to determine the identity of the requesting user and device so that it can apply policies for content access based on user, device type, or both together. For example, an IDP could allow access to one set of resources only from mobile devices and a different set from desktop devices. - -Remote unlock, which is planned for a future release of Windows 10, builds on these scenarios by enabling seamless remote authentication from a mobile device as a second factor. For example, suppose that you’re visiting another office at your company and you need to borrow a computer there temporarily, but you don’t want to potentially expose your credentials to capture. Rather than type in your credentials, you can click **other user** on the Windows 10 logon screen, type your user name, pick the tile for remote authentication, and use an app on your phone, which you already unlocked by using its built-in facial-recognition sensors. The phone and computer are paired and handshake via Bluetooth, you type your authentication PIN on the phone, and the computer gets confirmation of your identity from the IDP. All this happens without typing a password anywhere or typing your PIN on the PC. - -**The infrastructure** - -Microsoft Passport depends on having compatible IDPs available to it. As of this writing, that means you have four deployment possibilities: -- Use an existing Windows-based PKI centered around Active Directory Certificate Services. This option requires additional infrastructure, including a way to issue certificates to devices. You can use NDES to register devices directly, Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager Technical Preview or later for on-premises environments, or Microsoft Intune where it’s available to manage mobile device participation in Microsoft Passport. -- You can configure Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview domain controllers to act as IDPs for Microsoft Passport. In this mode, the Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview domain controllers act as IDPs alongside any existing Windows Server 2008 R2 or later domain controllers. There is no requirement to replace all existing domain controllers, merely to introduce at least one Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview domain controller per Active Directory site and update the forest Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) schema to Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview. -- The normal discovery mechanism that clients use to find domain controllers and global catalogs relies on Domain Name System (DNS) SRV records, but those records don’t contain version data. Windows 10 computers will query DNS for SRV records to find all available Active Directory servers, and then query each server to identify those that can act as Microsoft Passport IDPs. The number of authentication requests your users generate, where your users are located, and the design of your network all drive the number of Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview domain controllers required. -- Azure AD can act as an IDP either by itself or alongside an on-premises AD DS forest. Organizations that use Azure AD can register devices directly without having to join them to a local domain by using the capabilities the Azure AD Device Registration service provides. -In addition to the IDP, Microsoft Passport requires an MDM system. This system can be the cloud-based Intune if you use Azure AD, or an on-premises System Center Configuration Manager deployment that meets the system requirements described in the [Deployment requirements](#deployreq) section of this document. - -## Design a Microsoft Passport for Work deployment - -Microsoft Passport for Work is designed for integration with your existing and future directory infrastructure and device deployments, but this flexibility means there are many considerations to think about when you design your deployment. Some of these decisions are technical, while others are organizational or even political. In this section, we examine the key points where you have to make decisions about how to implement Microsoft Passport for Work. Remember, individual devices can use the individual version of Microsoft Passport without any infrastructure changes on your part. Microsoft Passport for Work allows you to control and centrally manage user authentication and device registration. To use the initial version of Microsoft Passport for Work, each device must have an Azure AD identity, so automatic registration of devices provides a means both to register new devices and to apply optional policies to manage Microsoft Passport for Work. - -**One deployment strategy** - -Different organizations will necessarily take different approaches to the deployment of Microsoft Passport depending on their capabilities and needs, but there is only one strategy: deploy Microsoft Passport for Work throughout the organization to get maximum protection for the maximum number of devices and resources. Organizations can take one of three basic routes to accomplish that strategy: - -- Deploy Microsoft Passport for Work everywhere according to whatever device or user deployment strategy works best for the organization. -- Deploy Microsoft Passport for Work first to high-value or high-risk targets, by using conditional access policies to restrict access to key resources only to users who hold strong authentication credentials. -- Blend Microsoft Passport for Work into an existing multi-factor environment, using it as an additional form of strong authentication alongside physical or virtual smart cards. - -**Deploy Microsoft Passport for Work everywhere** - -In this approach, you deploy Microsoft Passport throughout the organization in a coordinated rollout. In some ways, this method is similar to any other desktop deployment project; the only real difference is that you must already have the Microsoft Passport infrastructure in place to support device registration before you can start using Microsoft Passport on Windows 10 devices. - -> **Note:**  You can still upgrade to Windows 10 or add new Windows 10 devices without changing your infrastructure. You just can’t use Microsoft Passport for Work on a device until the device joins Azure AD and receives the appropriate policy. -  -The major benefit of this approach is that it provides uniform protection for all parts of the organization. Sophisticated attackers have shown a great deal of skill in breaching large organizations by identifying weak points in their security, including users and systems that don’t have high-value information but that can be exploited to get it. Applying consistent protection across every device that an attacker could use to access enterprise data is excellent protection against these types of attacks. - -The downside to this approach is its complexity. Smaller organizations may find that managing the rollout of a new operating system across all devices is beyond the scope of their experience and capability. For these organizations, users can self-upgrade, and new users may end up with Windows 10 because they get new devices when they join. Larger organizations, especially those that are highly decentralized or have operations across many physical sites, may have more deployment knowledge and resources but face the challenge of coordinating rollout efforts across a larger user base and footprint. - -For more information about desktop deployment of Windows 10, visit the [Windows 10 TechCenter](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=626581). - -One key aspect of this deployment strategy is how to get Windows 10 in users’ hands. Because different organizations have wildly differing strategies to refresh hardware and software, there’s no one-size-fits-all strategy. For example, some organizations pursue a coordinated strategy that puts new desktop operating systems in users’ hands every 2–3 years on existing hardware, supplementing with new hardware only where and when required. Others tend to replace hardware and deploy whatever version of the Windows client operating system ships on the purchased devices. In both cases, there are typically separate deployment cycles for servers and server operating systems, and the desktop and server cycles may or may not be coordinated. - -In addition to the issue of Windows 10 deployment to users, you must consider how and when (or if!) you’ll deploy biometric devices to users. Because Windows Hello can take advantage of multiple biometric identifiers, you have a flexible range of device options, which includes the purchase of new devices that incorporate your selected biometric, seeding select users with appropriate devices, rollout of biometric devices as part of a scheduled hardware refresh and using PIN gestures until users get devices, or relying on remote unlock as a second authentication factor. - -**Deploy to high-value or high-risk targets** - -This strategy takes into account the fact that in most networks, not every asset is equally protected or equally valuable. There are two ways to think about this. One is that you can focus on protecting the users and services that are most at risk of compromise because of their value. Examples include sensitive internal databases or the user accounts of your key executives. The other option is that you can focus on areas of your network that are the most vulnerable, such as users who travel frequently (and thus run a higher risk of lost or stolen devices or drive-by credential theft). Either way, the strategy is the same: selectively and quickly deploy Microsoft Passport to protect specific people and resources. For example, you might issue new Windows 10 devices with biometric sensors to all users who need access to a sensitive internal database, and then deploy the minimum required infrastructure to support Microsoft Passport–secured access to that database for those users. - -One of the key design capabilities of Microsoft Passport for Work is that it supports Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) environments by allowing users to register their own devices with the organizational IDP (whether on premises, hybrid, or Azure AD). You may be able to take advantage of this capability to quickly deploy Microsoft Passport to protect your most vulnerable users or assets, ideally by using biometrics as an additional safety measure for the most valuable potential targets. - -**Blend Microsoft Passport with your infrastructure** - -Organizations that have already invested in smart cards, virtual smart cards, or token-based systems can still benefit from Microsoft Passport. Of those organizations, many use physical tokens and smart cards to protect only critical assets because of the expense and complexity of their deployment. Microsoft Passport offers a valuable complement to these systems because it protects users who currently rely on reusable credentials; protection of all users’ credentials is an important step toward blunting attacks that seek to leverage compromise of any credential into a widespread breach. This approach also gives you a great deal of flexibility in scheduling and deployment. -Some enterprises have deployed multi-use smart cards that provide building-access control, access to copiers or other office equipment, stored value for lunchroom purchases, remote network access, and other services. Deployment of Microsoft Passport in such environments doesn’t prevent you from continuing to use smart cards for these services. You can leave the existing smart card infrastructure in place for its existing use cases, and then register desktop and mobile devices in Microsoft Passport and use Microsoft Passport to secure access to network and Internet resources. This approach requires a more complicated infrastructure and a greater degree of organizational maturity because it requires you to link your existing PKI with an enrollment service and Microsoft Passport itself. - -Smart cards can act as a useful complement to Microsoft Passport in another important way: to bootstrap the initial logon for Microsoft Passport registration. When a user registers with Microsoft Passport on a device, part of that registration process requires a conventional logon. Rather than using a traditional password, organizations that have previously deployed the necessary infrastructure for smart cards or virtual smart cards can allow their users to register new devices by logging on with a smart card or virtual smart card. After the user has proved his or her identity to the organizational IDP with the smart card, the user can set up a PIN and proceed to use Microsoft Passport for future logons. - -**Choose a rollout method** - -Which rollout method you choose depends on several factors: - -- **How many devices you need to deploy.** This number has a huge influence on your overall deployment. A global rollout for 75,000 users has different requirements than a phased rollout for groups of 200–300 users in different cities. -- **How quickly you want to deploy Microsoft Passport for Work protection.** This is a classic cost–benefit tradeoff. You have to balance the security benefits of Microsoft Passport for Work against the cost and time required to deploy it broadly, and different organizations may make entirely different decisions depending on how they rate the costs and benefits involved. Getting the broadest possible Microsoft Passport coverage in the shortest time possible maximizes security benefits. -- **The type of devices you want to deploy.** Windows device manufacturers are aggressively introducing new devices optimized for Windows 10, leading to the possibility that you might deploy Microsoft Passport first on newly purchased tablets and portable devices, and then deploy it on the desktop as part of your normal refresh cycle. -- **What your current infrastructure looks like.** The individual version of Microsoft Passport doesn’t require changes to your Active Directory environment, but to support Microsoft Passport for Work, you may need a compatible MDM system. Depending on the size and composition of your network, mobile enrollment and management services deployment may be a major project in its own right. -- **Your plans for the cloud.** If you’re already planning a move to the cloud, Azure AD eases the process of Microsoft Passport for Work deployment, because you can use Azure AD as an IDP alongside your existing on-premises AD DS setup without making significant changes to your on-premises environment. Future versions of Microsoft Passport for Work will support the ability to simultaneously register devices that are already members of an on-premises AD DS domain in an Azure AD partition so that they use Microsoft Passport for Work from the cloud. Hybrid deployments that combine AD DS with Azure AD give you the ability to keep machine authentication and policy management against your local AD DS domain while providing the full set of Microsoft Passport for Work services (and Microsoft Office 365 integration) for your users. If you plan to use on-premises AD DS only, then the design and configuration of your on-premises environment will dictate what kind of changes you may need to make. - -### - -**Deployment requirements** - -Table 1 lists six scenarios for deployment of Microsoft Passport for Work in the enterprise. The initial release of Windows 10 supports Azure AD–only scenarios, with support for on-premises Microsoft Passport for Work planned for a future release (see the [Roadmap](#roadmap) section for more details). - -Depending on the scenario you choose, Microsoft Passport for Work deployment may require four elements: - -- An organizational IDP that supports Microsoft Passport. This can be Azure AD or a set of on-premises Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview domain controllers in an existing AD DS forest. Using Azure AD means that you can establish hybrid identity management, with Azure AD acting as a Microsoft Passport IDP and your on-premises AD DS environment handling older authentication requests. This approach provides all the flexibility of Azure AD with the ability to manage computer accounts and devices running older versions of Windows and on-premises applications such as Microsoft Exchange Server or Microsoft SharePoint. -- If you use certificates, an MDM system is required to allow policy management of Microsoft Passport for Work. Domain-joined devices in on-premises or hybrid deployments require Configuration Manager Technical Preview or later. Deployments with Azure AD must use either Intune or a compatible non-Microsoft MDM solution. -- On-premises deployments require the forthcoming Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) version included in Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview to support provisioning of Microsoft Passport credentials to devices. In this scenario, AD FS takes the place of the provisioning that Azure AD performs in cloud-based deployments. -- Certificate-based Microsoft Passport deployments require a PKI, including CAs that are accessible to all devices that need to register. If you deploy certificate-based Microsoft Passport on premises, you don’t actually need Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview domain controllers. On-premises deployments do need to apply the Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview AD DS schema and have the Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview version of AD FS installed. -Table 1.

Microsoft provides the forward-looking guidance in Table 1 to help organizations prepare their environments for planned future releases of Microsoft Passport for Work capabilities. - -**Select policy settings** - -Another key aspect of Microsoft Passport for Work deployment involves the choice of which policy settings to apply to the enterprise. There are two parts to this choice: which policies you deploy to manage Microsoft Passport itself and which policies you deploy to control device management and registration. A complete guide to selecting effective policies is beyond the scope of this guide, but one example reference that may be useful is [Mobile device management capabilities in Microsoft Intune](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=733877). - -## Implement Microsoft Passport - -No configuration is necessary to use Windows Hello or Microsoft Passport on individual user devices if those users just want to protect their personal credentials. Unless the enterprise disables the feature, users have the option to use Microsoft Passport for their personal credentials, even on devices that are registered with an organizational IDP. However, when you make Microsoft Passport for Work available for users, you must add the necessary components to your infrastructure, as described earlier in the [Deployment requirements](#deployreq) section. - -**How to use Azure AD** - -There are three scenarios for using Microsoft Passport for Work in Azure AD–only organizations: -- **Organizations that use the version of Azure AD included with Office 365.** For these organizations, no additional work is necessary. When Windows 10 was released to general availability, Microsoft changed the behavior of the Office 365 Azure AD stack. When a user selects the option to join a work or school network (Figure 4), the device is automatically joined to the Office 365 tenant’s directory partition, a certificate is issued for the device, and it becomes eligible for Office 365 MDM if the tenant has subscribed to that feature. In addition, the user will be prompted to log on and, if MFA is enabled, to enter an MFA proof that Azure AD sends to his or her phone. -- **Organizations that use the free tier of Azure AD.** For these organizations, Microsoft has not enabled automatic domain join to Azure AD. Organizations that have signed up for the free tier have the option to enable or disable this feature, so automatic domain join won’t be enabled unless and until the organization’s administrators decide to enable it. When that feature is enabled, devices that join the Azure AD domain by using the **Connect to work or school** dialog box shown in Figure 4 will be automatically registered with Microsoft Passport for Work support, but previously joined devices will not be registered. -- **Organizations that have subscribed to Azure AD Premium have access to the full set of Azure AD MDM features.** These features include controls to manage Microsoft Passport for Work. You can set policies to disable or force the use of Microsoft Passport for Work, require the use of a TPM, and control the length and strength of PINs set on the device. - - ![figure 4](images/passport-fig4-join.png) - - Figure 4: Joining an Office 365 organization automatically registers the device in Azure AD - -**Enable device registration** - -If you want to use Microsoft Passport at Work with certificates, you’ll need a device registration system. That means that you set up Configuration Manager Technical Preview, Intune, or a compatible non-Microsoft MDM system and enable it to enroll devices. This is a prerequisite step to use Microsoft Passport for Work with certificates, no matter the IDP, because the enrollment system is responsible for provisioning the devices with the necessary certificates. -**Set Microsoft Passport policies** - -As of the initial release of Windows 10, you can control the following settings for the use of Microsoft Passport for Work: -- You can require that Microsoft Passport be available only on devices that have TPM security hardware, which means the device uses TPM 1.2 or TPM 2.0. -- You can enable Microsoft Passport with a hardware-preferred option, which means that keys will be generated on TPM 1.2 or TPM 2.0 when available and by software when TPM is not available. -- You can configure whether certificate-based Microsoft Passport is available to users. You do this as part of the device deployment process, not through a separately applied policy. -- You can define the complexity and length of the PIN that users generate at registration. -- You can control whether Windows Hello use is enabled in your organization. - -These settings can be implemented through GPOs or through configuration service providers (CSPs) in MDM systems, so you have a familiar and flexible set of tools you can use to apply them to exactly the users you want. (For details about the Microsoft Passport for Work CSP, see [PassportForWork CSP)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=733876). - -## Roadmap - -The speed at which Universal Windows apps and services evolve means that the traditional design-build-test-release cycle for Windows is too slow to meet customers’ needs. As part of the release of Windows 10, Microsoft is changing how it engineers, tests, and distributes Windows. Rather than large, monolithic releases every 3–5 years, the Windows engineering team is committed to smaller, more frequent releases to get new features and services into the marketplace more rapidly without sacrificing security, quality, or usability.

How is a PIN different from (and better than) a password? -On the surface, a PIN looks much like a password. A PIN can be a set of numbers, but enterprise policy might allow complex PINs that include special characters and letters, both upper-case and lower-case. Something like **t758A!** could be an account password or a complex Hello PIN. It isn't the structure of a PIN (length, complexity) that makes it better than a password, it's how it works. - - -## PIN is tied to the device -One important difference between a password and a Hello PIN is that the PIN is tied to the specific device on which it was set up. That PIN is useless to anyone without that specific hardware. Someone who steals your password can sign in to your account from anywhere, but if they steal your PIN, they'd have to steal your physical device too! - -Even you can't use that PIN anywhere except on that specific device. If you want to sign in on multiple devices, you have to set up Hello on each device. - -## PIN is local to the device - -A password is transmitted to the server -- it can be intercepted in transmission or stolen from a server. A PIN is local to the device -- it isn't transmitted anywhere and it isn't stored on the server. -When the PIN is created, it establishes a trusted relationship with the identity provider and creates an asymmetric key pair that is used for authentication. When you enter your PIN, it unlocks the authentication key and uses the key to sign the request that is sent to the authenticating server. -> **Note:**  For details on how Hello uses asymetric key pairs for authentication, see [Microsoft Passport guide](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=691928). -  -## PIN is backed by hardware - -The Hello PIN is backed by a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip, which is a secure crypto-processor that is designed to carry out cryptographic operations. The chip includes multiple physical security mechanisms to make it tamper resistant, and malicious software is unable to tamper with the security functions of the TPM. All Windows 10 Mobile phones and many modern laptops have TPM. - -User key material is generated and available within the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) of the user device, which protects it from attackers who want to capture the key material and reuse it. Because Hello uses asymmetrical key pairs, users credentials can’t be stolen in cases where the identity provider or websites the user accesses have been compromised. - -The TPM protects against a variety of known and potential attacks, including PIN brute-force attacks. After too many incorrect guesses, the device is locked. - -## PIN can be complex - -The Windows Hello for Business PIN is subject to the same set of IT management policies as a password, such as complexity, length, expiration, and history. Although we generally think of a PIN as a simple four-digit code, administrators can set [policies](implement-microsoft-passport-in-your-organization.md) for managed devices to require a PIN complexity similar to a password. You can require or block: special characters, uppercase characters, lowercase characters, and digits. - -## What if someone steals the laptop or phone? - -To compromise a Windows Hello credential that TPM protects, an attacker must have access to the physical device, and then must find a way to spoof the user’s biometrics or guess his or her PIN—and all of this must be done before TPM anti-hammer capabilities lock the device. -You can provide additional protection for laptops that don't have TPM by enablng BitLocker and setting a policy to limit failed sign-ins. - -**Configure BitLocker without TPM** -1. Use the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) to enable the following policy: - - **Computer Configuration** > **Administrative Templates** > **Windows Components** > **BitLocker Drive Encryption** > **Operating System Drives** > **Require additional authentication at startup** - -2. In the policy option, select **Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM**, and then click **OK.** -3. Go to Control Panel > **System and Security** > **BitLocker Drive Encryption** and select the operating system drive to protect. -**Set account lockout threshold** -1. Use the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) to enable the following policy: - - **Computer Configuration** >**Windows Settings** ?**Security Settings** >**Account Policies** > **Account Lockout Policy** > **Account lockout threshold** - -2. Set the number of invalid logon attempts to allow, and then click OK. - -## Why do you need a PIN to use biometrics? -Windows Hello enables biometric sign-in for Windows 10: fingerprint, iris, or facial recognition. When you set up Windows Hello, you're asked to create a PIN first. This PIN enables you to sign in using the PIN when you can’t use your preferred biometric because of an injury or because the sensor is unavailable or not working properly. - -If you only had a biometric sign-in configured and, for any reason, were unable to use that method to sign in, you would have to sign in using your account and password, which doesn't provide you the same level of protection as Hello. - -## Related topics - -[Manage identity verification using Windows Hello for Business](manage-identity-verification-using-microsoft-passport.md) - -[Implement Windows Hello for Business in your organization](implement-microsoft-passport-in-your-organization.md) -  \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/windows/keep-secure/windows-10-enterprise-security-guides.md b/windows/keep-secure/windows-10-enterprise-security-guides.md index a5c487491c..0ed2aa1d28 100644 --- a/windows/keep-secure/windows-10-enterprise-security-guides.md +++ b/windows/keep-secure/windows-10-enterprise-security-guides.md @@ -34,10 +34,6 @@ Get proven guidance to help you better secure and protect your enterprise by usi

To simplify deployment and improve supportability, Microsoft has combined these technologies into a single solution under the Windows Hello name. Customers who have already deployed these technologies will not experience any change in functionality. Customers who have yet to evaluate Windows Hello will find it easier to deploy due to simplified policies, documentation, and semantics. - -Because we realize your employees are going to want to use this new technology in your enterprise, we’ve been actively working with the device manufacturers to create strict design and performance recommendations that help to ensure that you can more confidently introduce Windows Hello biometrics into your organization. - -##How does Windows Hello work? -Windows Hello lets your employees use fingerprint or facial recognition as an alternative method to unlocking a device. With Windows Hello, authentication happens when the employee provides his or her unique biometric identifier while accessing the device-specific Windows Hello credentials. - -The Windows Hello authenticator works to authenticate and allow employees onto your enterprise network. Authentication doesn’t roam among devices, isn’t shared with a server, and can’t easily be extracted from a device. If multiple employees share a device, each employee will use his or her own biometric data on the device. - -## Why should I let my employees use Windows Hello? -Windows Hello provides many benefits, including: - -- It helps to strengthen your protections against credential theft. Because an attacker must have both the device and the biometric info or PIN, it’s much more difficult to gain access without the employee’s knowledge. - -- Employees get a simple authentication method (backed up with a PIN) that’s always with them, so there’s nothing to lose. No more forgetting passwords! - -- Support for Windows Hello is built into the operating system so you can add additional biometric devices and polices as part of a coordinated rollout or to individual employees or groups using Group Policy or Mobile Device Management (MDM) configurations service provider (CSP) policies.
    For more info about the available Group Policies and MDM CSPs, see the [Implement Windows Hello for Business in your organization](implement-microsoft-passport-in-your-organization.md) topic. - -## Where is Microsoft Hello data stored? -The biometric data used to support Windows Hello is stored on the local device only. It doesn’t roam and is never sent to external devices or servers. This separation helps to stop potential attackers by providing no single collection point that an attacker could potentially compromise to steal biometric data. Additionally, even if an attacker was actually able to get the biometric data, it still can’t be easily converted to a form that could be recognized by the biometric sensor. - -## Has Microsoft set any device requirements for Windows Hello? -We’ve been working with the device manufacturers to help ensure a high-level of performance and protection is met by each sensor and device, based on these requirements: - -- **False Accept Rate (FAR).** Represents the instance a biometric identification solution verifies an unauthorized person. This is normally represented as a ratio of number of instances in a given population size, for example 1 in 100 000. This can also be represented as a percentage of occurrence, for example, 0.001%. This measurement is heavily considered the most important with regards to the security of the biometric algorithm. - -- **False Reject Rate (FRR).** Represents the instances a biometric identification solution fails to verify an authorized person correctly. Usually represented as a percentage, the sum of the True Accept Rate and False Reject Rate is 1. Can be with or without anti-spoofing or liveness detection. - -### Fingerprint sensor requirements -To allow fingerprint matching, you must have devices with fingerprint sensors and software. Fingerprint sensors, or sensors that use an employee’s unique fingerprint as an alternative log on option, can be touch sensors (large area or small area) or swipe sensors. Each type of sensor has its own set of detailed requirements that must be implemented by the manufacturer, but all of the sensors must include anti-spoofing measures (required) and a way to configure them (optional). - -**Acceptable performance range for small to large size touch sensors** - -- False Accept Rate (FAR): <0.001 – 0.002% - -- False Reject Rate (FRR) without Anti-spoofing or liveness detection: <5% - -- Effective, real world FRR with Anti-spoofing or liveness detection: <10% - -**Acceptable performance range for swipe sensors** - -- False Accept Rate (FAR): <0.002% - -- False Reject Rate (FRR) without Anti-spoofing or liveness detection: <5% - -- Effective, real world FRR with Anti-spoofing or liveness detection: <10% - -### Facial recognition sensors -To allow facial recognition, you must have devices with integrated special infrared (IR) sensors and software.

These devices have the commercial ID configured, telemetry enabled, and have sent telemetry to Microsoft within the last 28 days. The tile also shows the devices that Need Attention. + + +The **Needs Attention Summary** summarizes devices that require action on your part. There are multiple reasons why a device might need attention, and these reasons are categorized and summarized in the tile. You can view details about devices that are categorized as Needs Attention using a table view. The following **Needs Attention** states are defined: + + +
    +
    Needs AttentionDefinition +
    Out of SupportTotal number of devices that are no longer receiving servicing updates +
    Update failedWhen a device has reported a failure at some stage in its update deployment process, it will report that the Update Failed. You can click on this to see the full set of devices with more details about the stage at which a failure was reported, when the device reported a failure, and other data. +
    Missing 2+ Security UpdatesTotal number of devices that are missing two or more security updates +
    Update Progress StalledTotal number of devices where an update installation has been “in progress” for more than 7 days +
    + + +The **Update Status Summary** summarizes your organization's devices per the Windows 10 "Windows as a Service" (WaaS) model. For more information about WaaS, see [Overview of Windows as a service](waas-overview.md). Devices are categorized as: **Current**, **Up-to-date**, and **Not up-to-date**. See the following graphical representation of this model:
    + + +![Device states](images/uc-12.png) + + +Update Status Summary definitions: + + + +
    Update StatusDefinition +
    Current and Up-to-dateA device that is current is on the latest and greatest Microsoft offers. It is on the very newest feature update (ex. The Windows Anniversary Update, RS1), on the very latest quality update for its servicing branch. +
    Up-to-dateA device that is up-to-date is on the latest quality update for its servicing option (CB, CBB, LTSB), and the device is running an OS that is supported by Microsoft. +
    Not up-to-dateA device does not have the latest quality update for its servicing option. +
    + + +## Overall Quality Update Status + +**Overall Quality Update Status** is the second blade in Update Compliance. It has a donut data tile and lists the breakdown of the Up-to-date status of devices pivoted on OS version. See the following example: + + +![OS Quality Update Status](images/uc-13.png) + + +The donut tile offers a summary of all devices in your organization, divided into **Up-to-date** and **Not up-to-date**. Recall that devices that are current are also up-to-date. + + +The list view contains the breakdown of Up-to-date, Not up-to-date, and Update failed, all pivoted on OS version (e.g., 1507, 1511, 1607). Clicking on any of the rows of this list view will display the **OS Quality Update Summary Perspective** for that OS version. + + +## Latest and Previous Security Update Status + +Security updates are extremely important to your organization, so in addition to an overall view of Quality Updates, the deployment status for the latest two security updates are displayed for each supported OS build offered by Microsoft. + + +![Latest security update status](images/uc-14.png) + + +For the latest security update, a doughnut chart is displayed across all OS builds with a count of installed, in progress/deferred, update failed, and unknown status relative to that update. Two table views are provided below the doughnut displaying the same breakdown for each OS build supported by Microsoft. + +See the following definitions: + + + +
    TermDefinition +
    OS BuildThe OS build + Revision for the OS Version. The build + revision is a one-to-one mapping of the given security update in this context. +
    VersionThe OS Version corresponding to the OS build. +
    InstalledThe count of devices that have the given security update installed. In the case that the latest security update is not latest quality update (that is, an update has since been released but it did not contain any security fixes), then devices that are on a newer update will also be counted. +

    For the previous security update, a device will display as **Installed** until it has at least installed the latest security update. +
    In Progress or DeferredThe count of devices that are either currently in the process of installing the given security update, or are deferring the install as per their WUFB policy. +

    All devices in this category for Previous Security Update Status are missing 2 or more security updates, and therefore qualify as needing attention. +
    Update FailedThe count of devices that were **In Progress** for the given security update, but failed at some point in the process. They will no longer be shown as **In Progress or deferred** in this case, and only be counted as **Update failed**. +
    Status UnknownIf a device should be, in some way, progressing toward this security update, but it’s status cannot be inferred, it will count as **Status Unknown**. Devices that are not using Windows Update are the most likely devices to fall into this category. +
    + + +## Overall Feature Update Status + +Windows 10 has two main update types: Quality and Feature updates. The third blade in Update Compliance provides the most essential data about your organization’s devices for feature updates. + +Microsoft has developed terms to help specify the state of a given device for how it fits into the Windows as a Service (WaaS) model. There are three update states for a device: +- Current +- Up-to-date +- Not up-to-date + + +See the **Update Status Summary** description under [OS Update Overview](#os-update-overview) in this guide for definitions of these terms. + + +The Overall Feature Update Status blade focuses around whether or not your devices are considered Current. See the following example: + + +![Overall feature update status](images/uc-15.png) + + +Devices are evaluated by OS Version (e.g., 1607) and the count of how many are Current, Not Current, and have Update Failures is displayed. Clicking on any of these counts will allow you to view all those devices, as well as select the **Update Deployment Status** perspective, described below.  + + +## CB, CBB, LTSB Deployment Status + +Following the overview with respect to how current your organization’s devices are, there are three tables that show feature update deployment for all devices. The devices are split up by which branch they are on, as this directly impacts whether they are supported (for example, 1607 may be supported under CBB, but not under CB). This allows you a quick glance at how deployment is progressing across your organization with respect to feature updates. + +See the following example: + + +![CB deployment status](images/uc-16.png) + + +The three tables break down devices by feature update. For each OS version, the following columns provide counts of the possible device states: + + + +
    Deployment StatusDescription +
    Feature UpdateA concatenation of servicing branch (CB, CBB, LTSB) and OS Version (e.g., 1607) +
    InstalledThe number of devices that have reported to be on the given servicing train and feature update. +
    In progressThe number of devices that have reported to be at some stage in the installation process for the given feature update. +

    Example: Device X running CB 1507 could be installing CB 1607. In this example, X would count as both **Installed** for **CB 1507** and **In Progress** for **CB 1607**. +
    Scheduled next 7 daysThe total number of devices that are set to have a deferral period expire within 7 days, and after that deferral period expires are targeted to install the given update. +

    Example: Device Y running CB 1507 could be scheduled to install CB 1607 in 5 days. In this example, X would count as both **Installed** for **CB 1507** and **Scheduled next 7 days** for **CB 1607** +
    Update FailedThe total number of devices that were **In progress** with the installation for the given feature update, but encountered a failure. +

    Example: Device X running CB 1507 could be installing CB 1607. X then encounters an error during installation. In this example, X would count as both **Installed** for **CB 1507** and **Update failed** for **CB 1607**, but not as **In progress** for **CB 1607**. +
    Status UnknownFor devices not using Windows Update to get updates, some information on deployment progress cannot be known. It is possible to know the current installed Feature Update for a device, but not which devices are **In Progress**, **Scheduled next 7 days**, or devices with **Update Failed**. +

    Devices that Update Compliance knows belongs to your organization, but it does not know update failures or installation progress, will be counted here. +
    + + +## Quality Update Perspective + +The Quality Update Deployment Status perspective is a breakdown of the most essential data the user should know about the status of their devices with respect to being Up-to-date. The perspective shows a summary of the organization’s devices for one specific OS version, or build. + +### Quality Update Build Summary + +The build summary blade attempts to summarize the most important data points to the user for the given build. It is divided into two sections. The first section is a summary of devices for that build – the total number of devices, and the amount that need attention. Each row within the table below is a breakdown of why each device requires attention. The rows can be interacted with to be taken to a larger table view that shows detailed information about all the devices that meet the given criteria. See the following example: + + +![Quality update build summary](images/uc-17.png) + +  +### Quality Update Deferral Configurations + +The next blade is the Deferral configuration blade, which shows the WUFB Deferral configurations for all devices that are using WUFB and are reporting to Update Compliance. If no information can be gathered from a device or it is not configured to use WUFB, it will show up as **Not configured (-1)**. See the following example: + + +![Quality Update Deferral Configurations](images/uc-18.png) + +  +### Quality Update Deployment Status + +Under the three top-level blades is the deployment status for the newest quality update for the given build. It provides information on the revision number as well as how many days it has been since that revision has been released. See the following example: + + +![Quality Update Deployment Status](images/uc-19.png) + + +See the following table for a description of last reported states for devices deploying that quality update. + + + +
    Deployment StateDescription +
    Update CompletedWhen a device has finished the update process and is on the given update, it will display here as **Update completed**. +
    In ProgressDevices that are “in progress” installing an update will fall within this category. This category is detailed in the following blade: **Detailed Deployment Status**. +
    DeferredIf a device’s WUfB deferral policy dictates that it is not set to receive this update, the device will show as Update deferred. +
    CancelledA device will report that the update has been cancelled if the user, at some point, cancelled the update on the device. +
    BlockedDevices that are blocked are prevented from proceeding further with the given update. This could be because another update is paused, or some other task on the device must be performed before the update process can proceed. +
    + +

    + + +### Quality Update Detailed Deployment Status + +This blade provides more detail on the deployment process for the update in the Deployment Status blade. This blade is more of a deployment funnel for devices, enabling you to see at a more granular level how devices are progressing along in their deployment. See the following example: + + +![Quality Update Detailed Deployment Status](images/uc-20.png) + + +>Devices that are not managed using Windows Update (Windows Update for Business or otherwise) will not have detailed deployment information. + + +The following table provides a list of the detailed deployment states a device can report: + + + +
    Detailed Deployment StateDescription +
    Update deferredThe WUfB policy of the device dictates the update is deferred. +
    Pre-Download Tasks PassedThe device has finished all tasks necessary prior to downloading the update. +
    Download StartedThe update has begun downloading on the device. +
    Download SucceededThe device has successfully downloaded the update. +
    Pre-Install Tasks PassedThe device has downloaded the update successfully, and successfully passed all checks prior to beginning installation of the update. +
    Install StartedThe device has begun installing the update. +
    Reboot RequiredThe device has finished installing the update, and a reboot is required before the update can be completed. +
    Reboot PendingThe device is pending a scheduled reboot before the update can be completed. +
    Reboot InitiatedThe device has reported to have initiated the reboot process for completing the update. +
    Update completedThe device has completed installing, rebooting, and applying the update. +
    + + +## Feature Update Perspective + + +Like Quality Updates, the Feature Update Deployment Status perspective is a breakdown of information most essential to an administrator. This information is viewed by clicking on a given build on the Feature Update Status blade and then navigating to the **Update Deployment Status** pane as displayed previously. In Update Compliance, a perspective is assigned to a query; the query used to generate the perspective can be altered to show other information, if desired. + +Every piece of data shown in this view can be clicked; when clicked, it will alter the query to focus only on the data you need. If the perspective is not meaningful after the query is altered, you can use the other data views like the List and Table. + +>After clicking on an OS version from the Feature Update Status blade, the query must fully load the results before you can select the Update Deployment Status perspective. + +### Feature Update Build Summary + + +The Build Summary blade provides a summary for all devices on the given build. It gives a count of all devices, as well as a count of all devices that need attention. Below the counts, you can see why the devices need attention, with a count of devices that fall into each category. See the following example: + +![Feature Update Build Summary](images/uc-21.png) + +### Feature Update Deferral Configuration + + +This blade shows all deferral configurations for the devices on the given build. See the following example: + + +![Feature Update Deferral Configuration](images/uc-22.png) + + +Deferral configurations are WUfB-specific, and are shown as days. Some useful information regarding how deferral configurations are shown: +- The devices are grouped based off what their deferral policy is set at. For feature updates, this can be up to 120 days. +- A deferral of zero days means the device has WUfB configured, but is set to not defer the update. These devices will be under “0” for the Update Deferred field. +- Devices that are not configured to use WUfB deferral policies have a “-1” for their deferral days. In this table, the devices will show up as “Not Configured (-1)”. + +### Feature Update Deployment Status + +As stated earlier in this section, the Feature Updates blade focuses on how Current your devices are. A device is only Current when it is on the latest feature update and quality update Microsoft offers. Thus, the Deployment Status blade displays the deployment status for devices regarding their deployment to the latest feature update. See the following example: + + +![Feature Update Deployment Status](images/uc-23.png) + + +This blade breaks down the main states a device can be in through the deployment of a feature update. The possible states are as follows: + + + +
    Deployment StateDescription +
    Update completedWhen a device has completely finished the update process and is on the given update, it will show up here as **Update completed**. +
    InprogressDevices “in progress” of installing the given update will fall within this category. This category is iterated on with further granularity in the proceeding blade, “Detailed Deployment Status”. +
    Update deferredIf a device’s WUfB deferral policy dictates that it is not set to receive this update yet, the device will show as Update deferred. +
    CancelledA device will report that the update has been cancelled if the user, at some point, cancelled the update on the device. +
    BlockedDevices that are blocked are prevented from proceeding further with the given update. This could be because another update is paused, or some other task on the device must be performed before the update process can proceed. +
    + +

    + + + + + + +### Feature Update Detailed Deployment Status + +This blade provides more detail on the deployment process for the update in the Deployment Status blade. This blade is more of a deployment funnel for devices, enabling you to see at a more granular level how devices are progressing along in their deployment. See the following example: + + +![Feature Update Detailed Deployment Status](images/uc-24.png) + + +The following table displays all states a device can report: + + + +
    Detailed Deployment StateDescription +
    Update deferredThe WUfB policy of the device dictates the update is deferred. +
    Pre-Download Tasks PassedThe device has finished all tasks necessary prior to downloading the update. +
    Download StartedThe update has begun downloading on the device. +
    Download SucceededThe device has successfully downloaded the update. +
    Pre-Install Tasks PassedThe device has downloaded the update successfully, and successfully passed all checks prior to beginning installation of the update. +
    Install StartedThe device has begun installing the update. +
    Reboot RequiredThe device has finished installing the update, and a reboot is required before the update can be completed. +
    Reboot PendingThe device is pending a scheduled reboot before the update can be completed. +
    Reboot InitiatedThe device has reported to have initiated the reboot process for completing the update. +
    Update completedThe device has completed installing, rebooting, and applying the update. +
    + + + +## List of Queries + +Operations Management Suite leverages its powerful Log Analytics querying to perform all data calculations. For this blade, we provide examples of queries that show useful data to the user about their organization’s devices. See the following example: + + +![List of Queries](images/uc-25.png) + + +The following **Common queries** are available: + + + +
    Query TitleDescription +
    OS Security Update StatusThis query provides an all-up view with respect to how many devices are on the latest security update for their OS version. The table will detail an aggregated count of the number of devices, out of the total (so count, or percent) are on the latest security update for their OS build. +
    Update Deployment FailuresThis query provides a chart view, displaying an aggregation of all devices that have reported a deployment failure for either feature or quality updates. The aggregation of the data is on the given update for which a given device has reported a deployment failure. +
    Devices pending reboot to complete updateThis query will provide a table showing all devices that are at the stage of "Reboot Pending" In the update deployment process.

    This query will show devices which are in this state for both feature and quality updates; the data will be organized on precisely which update the given device(s) are pending a reboot to install. +
    Servicing Option Distribution for the devicesThis query provides a chart view that aggregates all devices seen by the solution on for each servicing option available for Windows 10 devices (CB, CBB, LTSB) +OS Distribution for the devices This query provides a chart view displaying the distribution of the different editions of Windows 10 that devices seen by the solution are running (e.g., Enterprise, Professional, Education, etc.) +
    Deferral configurations for Feature UpdateThis query provides a chart view which displays a breakdown of the different Feature Update deferral configurations through WUfB that the devices seen by the solution are using.

    The configuration is in days. 0 days means the device has WUfB deferrals configured, but is not set to defer feature updates. -1 means the device has no feature update deferral policies configured. +
    Pause configurations for Feature UpdateThe WUfB policy +
    Update deferredThis query provides a chart view displaying the breakdown of devices that are either paused, or not paused for feature updates.

    “Not configured” means the device is not paused. “Paused” means it is currently paused. +
    Deferral configurations for Quality UpdateThis query provides a chart view which displays a breakdown of the different Quality Update deferral configurations through WUfB that the devices seen by the solution are using.

    The configuration is in days. 0 days means the device has WUfB deferrals configured, but is not set to defer quality updates. -1 means the device has no quality update deferral policies configured. +
    Pause configurations for Quality UpdateThis query provides to a chart view displaying the breakdown of devices that are either paused, or not paused for quality updates.

    **Not configured** means the device is not paused. **Paused** means it is currently paused. +

Delivery Optimization, peer-to-peer caching enabled through Group Policy, was piloted and then deployed to all managed devices using Group Policy. Based on recommendations from the Delivery Optimization team, we used the "group" configuration to limit sharing of content to only the devices that are members of the same Active Directory domain. The content is cached for 24 hours. More than 76 percent of content came from peer devices versus the Internet. + +For more details, check out the [Adopting Windows as a Service at Microsoft](https://www.microsoft.com/itshowcase/Article/Content/851/Adopting-Windows-as-a-service-at-Microsoft) technical case study. + +Provided below is a detailed description of every configurable feature setting. Use these details when configuring any of the above settings. + +### Download mode Download mode dictates which download sources clients are allowed to use when downloading Windows updates in addition to Windows Update servers. The following table shows the available download mode options and what they do. | Download mode option | Functionality when set | | --- | --- | -| HTTP Only (0) | This setting disables peer content sharing but still allows Delivery Optimization to download content from Windows Update servers or WSUS servers. | +| HTTP Only (0) | This setting disables peer-to-peer caching but still allows Delivery Optimization to download content from Windows Update servers or WSUS servers. This mode uses additional metadata provided by the Delivery Optimization cloud services for a peerless reliable and efficient download experience. | | LAN (1 – Default) | This default operating mode for Delivery Optimization enables peer sharing on the same network. | | Group (2) | When group mode is set, the group is automatically selected based on the device’s Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) site (Windows 10, version 1607) or the domain the device is authenticated to (Windows 10, version 1511). In group mode, peering occurs across internal subnets, between devices that belong to the same group, including devices in remote offices. You can use the GroupID option to create your own custom group independently of domains and AD DS sites. Group download mode is the recommended option for most organizations looking to achieve the best bandwidth optimization with Delivery Optimization. | | Internet (3) | Enable Internet peer sources for Delivery Optimization. | -| Simple (99) | Simple mode disables the use of Delivery Optimization cloud services completely (for offline environments). Delivery Optimization switches to this mode automatically when the Delivery Optimization cloud services are unavailable or unreachable. | +| Simple (99) | Simple mode disables the use of Delivery Optimization cloud services completely (for offline environments). Delivery Optimization switches to this mode automatically when the Delivery Optimization cloud services are unavailable, unreachable or when the content file size is less than 10 MB. In this mode, Delivery Optimization provides a reliable download experience, with no peer-to-peer caching. | |Bypass (100) | Bypass Delivery Optimization and use BITS, instead. For example, select this mode so that clients can use BranchCache. | >[!NOTE] >Group mode is a best effort optimization and should not be relied on for an authentication of identity of devices participating in the group. -### Group ID (DOGroupID) +### Group ID By default, peer sharing on clients using the group download mode is limited to the same domain in Windows 10, version 1511, and the same domain and AD DS site in Windows 10, version 1607. By using the Group ID setting, you can optionally create a custom group that contains devices that should participate in Delivery Optimization but do not fall within those domain or AD DS site boundaries, including devices in another domain. Using Group ID, you can further restrict the default group (for example create a sub-group representing an office building), or extend the group beyond the domain, allowing devices in multiple domains in your organization to peer. This setting requires the custom group to be specified as a GUID on each device that participates in the custom group. >[!NOTE] >This configuration is optional and not required for most implementations of Delivery Optimization. -### Max Cache Age (DOMaxCacheAge) +### Max Cache Age In environments configured for Delivery Optimization, you may want to set an expiration on cached updates and Windows application installation files. If so, this setting defines the maximum number of seconds each file can be held in the Delivery Optimization cache on each Windows 10 client computer. The default Max Cache Age value is 259,200 seconds (3 days). Alternatively, organizations may choose to set this value to “0” which means “unlimited” to avoid peers re-downloading content. When “Unlimited” value is set, Delivery Optimization will hold the files in the cache longer and will clean up the cache as needed (for example when the cache size exceeded the maximum space allowed). -### Max Cache Size (DOMaxCacheSize) +### Max Cache Size This setting limits the maximum amount of space the Delivery Optimization cache can use as a percentage of the available drive space, from 1 to 100. For example, if you set this value to 10 on a Windows 10 client computer that has 100 GB of available drive space, then Delivery Optimization will use up to 10 GB of that space. Delivery Optimization will constantly assess the available drive space and automatically clear the cache to keep the maximum cache size under the set percentage. The default value for this setting is 20. -### Absolute Max Cache Size (DOAbsoluteMaxCacheSize) +### Absolute Max Cache Size This setting specifies the maximum number of gigabytes the Delivery Optimization cache can use. This is different from the **DOMaxCacheSize** setting, which is a percentage of available disk space. Also, if you configure this policy, it will override the **DOMaxCacheSize** setting. The default value for this setting is 10 GB. -### Maximum Download Bandwidth (DOMaxDownloadBandwidth) +### Maximum Download Bandwidth This setting specifies the maximum download bandwidth that can be used across all concurrent Delivery Optimization downloads in kilobytes per second (KB/s). A default value of 0 means that Delivery Optimization will dynamically adjust and optimize the maximum bandwidth used. -### Percentage of Maximum Download Bandwidth (DOPercentageMaxDownloadBandwidth) +### Percentage of Maximum Download Bandwidth This setting specifies the maximum download bandwidth that Delivery Optimization can use across all concurrent download activities as a percentage of available download bandwidth. The default value 0 means that Delivery Optimization dynamically adjusts to use the available bandwidth for downloads. -### Max Upload Bandwidth (DOMaxUploadBandwidth) +### Max Upload Bandwidth This setting allows you to limit the amount of upload bandwidth individual clients can use for Delivery Optimization. Consider this setting when clients are providing content to requesting peers on the network. This option is set in kilobytes per second (KB/s). The default setting is 0, or “unlimited” which means Delivery Optimization dynamically optimizes for minimal usage of upload bandwidth; however it does not cap the upload bandwidth rate at a set rate. -### Minimum Background QoS (DOMinBackgroundQoS) +### Minimum Background QoS This value specifies the minimum download speed guarantee that a client attempts to achieve and will fulfill by downloading more bytes from Windows Update servers or WSUS. Simply put, the lower this value is, the more content will be sourced using peers on the network rather than Windows Update. The higher this value, the more content is received from Windows Update servers or WSUS, versus peers on the local network. -### Modify Cache Drive (DOModifyCacheDrive) +### Modify Cache Drive This setting allows for an alternate Delivery Optimization cache location on the clients. By default, the cache is stored on the operating system drive through the %SYSTEMDRIVE% environment variable. You can set the value to an environment variable (e.g., %SYSTEMDRIVE%), a drive letter (e.g., D:), or a folder path (e.g., D:\DOCache). -### Monthly Upload Data Cap (DOMonthlyUploadDataCap) +### Monthly Upload Data Cap This setting specifies the total amount of data in gigabytes that a Delivery Optimization client can upload to Internet peers per month. A value of 0 means that an unlimited amount of data can be uploaded. The default value for this setting is 20 GB. - -## Delivery Optimization configuration examples - -Delivery Optimization can be configured in various ways, leveraging the policies described in the previous section. The following samples describe some common scenarios that organizations may want to set up, given specific scenarios in use for their organization. - -### Use Delivery Optimzation with group download mode - -Delivery Optimization by default will consider all PCs in an organizations as peers for sharing content, even those that might be located across a slower WAN link.

This makes all libraries basic (see [Indexing Requirements and Basic Libraries](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dd744693.aspx#WS_IndexingReqs_BasicLibraries)), removes libraries from the scope of the Start menu search, and removes other features to avoid confusing users and consuming resources. + +## More about Libraries + +The following is important information about libraries you may need to understand to successfully manage your enterprise. + +### Library Contents + +Including a folder in a library does not physically move or change the storage location of the files or folders; the library is a view into those folders. However, users interacting with files in a library are copying, moving, and deleting the files themselves, not copies of these files. + +### Default Libraries and Known Folders + +The default libraries include: +- Documents +- Music +- Pictures +- Videos + +Libraries are built upon the legacy known folders (such as My Documents, My Pictures, and My Music) that users are familiar with. These known folders are automatically included in the default libraries and set as the default save location. That is, when users drag, copy, or save a file to the Documents library, the file is moved, copied, or saved to the My Documents folder. Administrators and users can change the default save-to location. + +### Hiding Default Libraries + +Users or administrators can hide or delete the default libraries, though the libraries node in the Navigation pane cannot be hidden or deleted. Hiding a default library is preferable to deleting it, as applications like Windows Media Player rely on the default libraries and will re-create them if they do not exist on the computer. See [How to Hide Default Libraries](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/d44c78e0-08ef-4e91-935a-a6f43716e37d#BKMK_HideDefaultLibraries) for instructions. + +### Default Save Locations for Libraries + +Each library has a default save location. Files are saved or copied to this location if the user chooses to save or copy a file to a library, rather than a specific location within the library. Known folders are the default save locations; however, users can select a different save location. +If the user removes the default save location from a library, the next location is automatically selected as the new default save location. If the library is empty of locations or if all included locations cannot be saved to, then the save operation fails. + +### Indexing Requirements and “Basic” Libraries + +Certain library features depend on the contents of the libraries being indexed. Library locations must be available for local indexing or be indexed in a manner conforming to the Windows Indexing Protocol. If indexing is not enabled for one or more locations within a library, the entire library reverts to basic functionality: +- No support for metadata browsing via **Arrange By** views. +- Grep-only searches. +- Grep-only search suggestions. The only properties available for input suggestions are **Date Modified** and **Size**. +- No support for searching from the Start menu. Start menu searches do not return files from basic libraries. +- No previews of file snippets for search results returned in Content mode. + +To avoid this limited functionality, all locations within the library must be indexable, either locally or remotely. When users add local folders to libraries, Windows adds the location to the indexing scope and indexes the contents. Remote locations that are not indexed remotely can be added to the local index using Offline File synchronization. This gives the user the benefits of local storage even though the location is remote. Making a folder “Always available offline” creates a local copy of the folder’s files, adds those files to the index, and keeps the local and remote copies in sync. Users can manually sync locations which are not indexed remotely and are not using folder redirection to gain the benefits of being indexed locally. + +For instructions on enabling indexing, see [How to Enable Indexing of Library Locations](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/d44c78e0-08ef-4e91-935a-a6f43716e37d#BKMK_EnableIndexLocations). + +If your environment does not support caching files locally, you should enable the [Turn off Windows Libraries features that rely on indexed file](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/faaefdad-6e12-419a-b714-6a7bb60f6773#WS_TurnOffWindowsLibraries) data Group Policy. This makes all libraries basic. For further information, see [Group Policy for Windows Search, Browse, and Organize](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dd744697.aspx). + +### Folder Redirection + +While library files themselves cannot be redirected, you can redirect known folders included in libraries by using [Folder Redirection](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh848267.aspx). For example, you can redirect the “My Documents” folder, which is included in the default Documents library. When redirecting known folders, you should make sure that the destination is either indexed or always available offline in order to maintain full library functionality. In both cases, the files for the destination folder are indexed and supported in libraries. These settings are configured on the server side. + +### Supported storage locations + +The following table show which locations are supported in Windows libraries. + +|Supported Locations|Unsupported Locations| +|---|---| +|Fixed local volumes (NTFS/FAT)|Removable drives| +|Shares that are indexed (departmental servers*, Windows home PCs)|Removable media (such as DVDs)

    Network shares that are accessible through DFS Namespaces or are part of a failover cluster| +|Shares that are available offline (redirected folders that use Offline Files)|Network shares that aren't available offline or remotely indexed

    Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices| +||Other data sources: SharePoint, Exchange, etc.| + +\* For shares that are indexed on a departmental server, Windows Search works well in workgroups or on a domain server that has similar characteristics to a workgroup server. For example, Windows Search works well on a single share departmental server with the following characteristics: + +- Expected maximum load is four concurrent query requests. +- Expected indexing corpus is a maximum of one million documents. +- Users directly access the server. That is, the server is not made available through DFS Namespaces. +- Users are not redirected to another server in case of failure.
