Many of you share a HoloLens with lots of people in a work or school environment. Whether devices are shared between students in a classroom or they're checked out from a device locker, it's important to be able to change users quickly and easily without typing long user names and passwords. FIDO lets anyone in your organization (AAD tenant) seamlessly sign in to HoloLens without entering a username or password.

# Set up HoloLens in kiosk mode
# Set up HoloLens as a kiosk for specific applications
In Windows 10, version 1803, you can configure your HoloLens devices to run as multi-app or single-app kiosks. You can also configure guest access for a HoloLens kiosk device by [designating a SpecialGroup account in your XML file.](#add-guest-access-to-the-kiosk-configuration-optional)
When HoloLens is configured as a multi-app kiosk, only the allowed apps are available to the user. The benefit of a multi-app kiosk, or fixed-purpose device, is to provide an easy-to-understand experience for individuals by putting in front of them only the things they need to use, and removing from their view the things they don’t need to access.

Single-app kiosk mode starts the specified app when the user signs in, and restricts the user's ability to launch new apps or change the running app. When single-app kiosk mode is enabled for HoloLens, the [start gestures](https://docs.microsoft.com/hololens/hololens2-basic-usage#start-gesture) (including [Bloom](https://docs.microsoft.com/hololens/hololens1-basic-usage) on HoloLens (1st Gen)) and Cortana are disabled, and placed apps aren't shown in the user's surroundings.

You may experience issues when trying to launch the Microsoft Store and apps on HoloLens. We've determined that the issue occurs when background app updates deploy a newer version of framework packages in specific sequences while one or more of their dependent apps are still running. In this case, an automatic app update delivered a new version of the .NET Native Framework (version 10.0.25531 to 10.0.27413) caused the apps that are running to not correctly update for all running apps consuming the prior version of the framework. The flow for framework update is as follows:
1. The new framework package is downloaded from the store and installed
1. All apps using the older framework are ‘updated’ to use the newer version
1. All apps using the older framework are 'updated' to use the newer version
If step 2 is interrupted before completion then any apps for which the newer framework wasn’t registered will fail to launch from the start menu. We believe any app on HoloLens could be affected by this issue.
If step 2 is interrupted before completion then any apps for which the newer framework wasn't registered will fail to launch from the start menu. We believe any app on HoloLens could be affected by this issue.

1. You will then see a screen that is similar to the below. You want to go to the section that says **Install App** and browse to where you unzipped those two APPX files. You can only do one at a time, so after you select the first one, then click on “Go” under the Deploy section. Then do this for the second APPX file.

# Mapping physical spaces with HoloLens
# Map physical spaces with HoloLens
HoloLens blends holograms with your physical world. To do that, HoloLens has to learn about the physical world around you and remember where you place holograms within that space.
Over time, the HoloLens builds up a *spatial map* of the environment that it has seen. HoloLens updates the map as the environment changes. As long as you are logged in and the device is turned on, HoloLens creates and updates your spatial maps. If you hold or wear the device with the cameras pointed at a space, the HoloLens tries to map the area. While the HoloLens learns a space naturally over time, there are ways in which you can help HoloLens map your space more quickly and efficiently.
> [!NOTE]
> If your HoloLens can’t map your space or is out of calibration, HoloLens may enter Limited mode. In Limited mode, you won’t be able to place holograms in your surroundings.
> If your HoloLens can't map your space or is out of calibration, HoloLens may enter Limited mode. In Limited mode, you won't be able to place holograms in your surroundings.
This article explains how HoloLens maps spaces, how to improve spatial mapping, and how to manage the spatial data that HoloLens collects.

# What's new in Microsoft HoloLens
## Windows 10, version 1809 for Microsoft HoloLens
> **Applies to:** Hololens (1st gen)
### For everyone
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| **Quick actions menu** | When you're in an app, the Bloom gesture will now open a Quick actions menu to give you quick access to commonly used system features without having to leave the app. <br> See [Set up HoloLens in kiosk mode](hololens-kiosk.md) for information about the Quick actions menu in kiosk mode.<br><br>![sample of the Quick actions menu](images/minimenu.png) |
| **Stop video capture from the Start or quick actions menu** | If you start video capture from the Start menu or quick actions menu, you’ll be able to stop recording from the same place. (Don’t forget, you can always do this with voice commands too.) |
| **Project to a Miracast-enabled device** | Project your HoloLens content to a nearby Surface device or TV/Monitor if using Microsoft Display adapter. On **Start**, select **Connect**, and then select the device you want to project to. **Note:** You can deploy HoloLens to use Miracast projection without enabling developer mode. |
| **New notifications** | View and respond to notification toasts on HoloLens, just like you do on a PC. Gaze to respond to or dismiss them (or if you’re in an immersive experience, use the bloom gesture). |
| **HoloLens overlays**<br>(file picker, keyboard, dialogs, etc.) | You’ll now see overlays such as the keyboard, dialogs, file picker, etc. when using immersive apps. |
| **Visual feedback overlay UI for volume change** | When you use the volume up/down buttons on your HoloLens you’ll see a visual display of the volume level. |
| **New UI for device boot** | A loading indicator was added during the boot process to provide visual feedback that the system is loading. Reboot your device to see the new loading indicator—it’s between the "Hello" message and the Windows boot logo. |
| **Nearby sharing** | Addition of the Windows Nearby Sharing experience, allowing you to share a capture with a nearby Windows device. When you capture a photo or video on HoloLens (or use the share button from an app such as Microsoft Edge), select a nearby Windows device to share with. |
| **Share from Microsoft Edge** | Share button is now available on Microsoft Edge windows on HoloLens. In Microsoft Edge, select **Share**. Use the HoloLens share picker to share web content. |
### For administrators
| Feature | Details |
|---|----|
| [Enable post-setup provisioning](hololens-provisioning.md) | You can now apply a runtime provisioning package at any time using **Settings**. |
| Assigned access with Azure AD groups | You can now use Azure AD groups for configuration of Windows assigned access to set up single or multi-app kiosk configuration. |
| PIN sign-in on profile switch from sign-in screen | PIN sign-in is now available for **Other User**.  |
| Sign in with Web Credential Provider using password | You can now select the Globe sign-in option to launch web sign-in with your password. From the sign-in screen, select **Sign-In options** and select the Globe option to launch web sign-in. Enter your user name if needed, then your password. <br>**Note:** You can choose to bypass any PIN/Smartcard options when prompted during web sign-in.  |
| Read device hardware info through MDM so devices can be tracked by serial # | IT administrators can see and track HoloLens by device serial number in their MDM console. Refer to your MDM documentation for feature availability and instructions. |
| Set HoloLens device name through MDM (rename) |  IT administrators can see and rename HoloLens devices in their MDM console. Refer to your MDM documentation for feature availability and instructions. |
### For international customers
Feature | Details
--- | ---
Localized Chinese and Japanese builds | Use HoloLens with localized user interface for Simplified Chinese or Japanese, including localized Pinyin keyboard, dictation, and voice commands.

## Windows 10, version 1803 for Microsoft HoloLens
> **Applies to:** Hololens (1st gen)
Windows 10, version 1803, is the first feature update to Windows Holographic for Business since its release in Windows 10, version 1607. This update introduces the following changes:
- Previously, you could only verify that upgrade license for Commercial Suite had been applied to your HoloLens device by checking to see if VPN was an available option on the device. Now, **Settings** > **System** will display **Windows Holographic for Business** after the upgrade license is applied. [Learn how to unlock Windows Holographic for Business features](hololens1-upgrade-enterprise.md).
- You can view the operating system build number in device properties in the File Explorer app and in the [Windows Device Recovery Tool (WDRT)](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12379/windows-10-mobile-device-recovery-tool-faq).
- Provisioning a HoloLens device is now easier with the new **Provision HoloLens devices** wizard in the Windows Configuration Designer tool. In the wizard, you can configure the setup experience and network connections, set developer mode, and obtain bulk Azure AD tokens. [Learn how to use the simple provisioning wizard for HoloLens](hololens-provisioning.md#provisioning-package-hololens-wizard).
![Provisioning HoloLens devices](images/provision-hololens-devices.png)
- When you create a local account in a provisioning package, the password no longer expires every 42 days.
- You can [configure HoloLens as a single-app or multi-app kiosk](hololens-kiosk.md). Multi-app kiosk mode lets you set up a HoloLens to only run the apps that you specify, and prevents users from making changes.
- Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is enabled so that you can connect the HoloLens device to a PC by USB and transfer files between HoloLens and the PC. You can also use the File Explorer app to move and delete files from within HoloLens.
- Previously, after you signed in to the device with an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) account, you then had to **Add work access** in **Settings** to get access to corporate resources. Now, you sign in with an Azure AD account and enrollment happens automatically.
- Before you sign in, you can choose the network icon below the password field to choose a different Wi-Fi network to connect to. You can also connect to a guest network, such as at a hotel, conference center, or business.
- You can now easily [share HoloLens with multiple people](hololens-multiple-users.md) using Azure AD accounts.
- When setup or sign-in fails, choose the new **Collect info** option to get diagnostic logs for troubleshooting.
- Individual users can sync their corporate email without enrolling their device in mobile device management (MDM). You can use the device with a Microsoft Account, download and install the Mail app, and add an email account directly.
- You can check the MDM sync status for a device in **Settings** > **Accounts** > **Access Work or School** > **Info**. In the **Device sync status** section, you can start a sync, see areas managed by MDM, and create and export an advanced diagnostics report.

### How the SCEP Challenge PW is secured
We work around the weakness of the SCEP protocol by generating custom challenges in Intune itself. The challenge string we create is signed/encrypted, and contains the information we’ve configured in Intune for certificate issuance into the challenge blob. This means the blob used as the challenge string contains the expected CSR information like the Subject Name, Subject Alternative Name, and other attributes.

This means the blob used as the challenge string contains the expected CSR information like the Subject Name, Subject Alternative Name, and other attributes.
We then pass that to the device and then the device generates it’s CSR and passes it, and the blob to the SCEP URL it received in the MDM profile. On NDES servers running the Intune SCEP module we perform a custom challenge validation that validates the signature on the blob, decrypts the challenge blob itself, compare it to the CSR received, and then determine if we should issue the cert. If any portion of this check fails then the certificate request is rejected.

Also note: the NDES Intune connector has shared PKCS cert functionality (if you decide to issue PKCS/PFX based certs) so the connector checks to Intune for PKCS cert requests even though there won’t be any requests to process. We are splitting that functionality out, so this connector just handles SCEP, but no ETA yet.

# Key features in MDT
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
The Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) has been in existence since 2003, when it was first introduced as Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) 1.0. The toolkit has evolved, both in functionality and popularity, and today it is considered fundamental to Windows operating system and enterprise application deployment.
MDT has many useful features, the most important of which are:
- **Windows Client support.** Supports Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10.
- **Windows Server support.** Supports Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2.
- **Additional operating systems support.** Supports Windows Thin PC and Windows Embedded POSReady 7, as well as Windows 8.1 Embedded Industry.
- **UEFI support.** Supports deployment to machines using Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) version 2.3.1.
- **GPT support.** Supports deployment to machines that require the new GUID (globally unique identifier) partition table (GPT) format. This is related to UEFI.
- **Enhanced Windows PowerShell support.** Provides support for running PowerShell scripts.
![figure 2](../images/mdt-05-fig02.png)
Figure 2. The deployment share mounted as a standard PSDrive allows for administration using PowerShell.
- **Add local administrator accounts.** Allows you to add multiple user accounts to the local Administrators group on the target computers, either via settings or the deployment wizard.
- **Automated participation in CEIP and WER.** Provides configuration for participation in Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) and Windows Error Reporting (WER).
- **Deploy Windows RE.** Enables deployment of a customized Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) as part of the task sequence.
- **Deploy to VHD.** Provides ready-made task sequence templates for deploying Windows into a virtual hard disk (VHD) file.
- **Improved deployment wizard.** Provides additional progress information and a cleaner UI for the Lite Touch Deployment Wizard.
- **Monitoring.** Allows you to see the status of currently running deployments.
- **Apply GPO Pack.** Allows you to deploy local group policy objects created by Microsoft Security Compliance Manager (SCM).
- **Partitioning routines.** Provides improved partitioning routines to ensure that deployments work regardless of the current hard drive structure.
- **Offline BitLocker.** Provides the capability to have BitLocker enabled during the Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) phase, thus saving hours of encryption time.
- **USMT offline user-state migration.** Provides support for running the User State Migration Tool (USMT) capture offline, during the Windows PE phase of the deployment.
![figure 3](../images/mdt-05-fig03.png)
Figure 3. The offline USMT backup in action.
- **Install or uninstall Windows roles or features.** Enables you to select roles and features as part of the deployment wizard. MDT also supports uninstall of roles and features.
- **Microsoft System Center 2012 Orchestrator integration.** Provides the capability to use Orchestrator runbooks as part of the task sequence.
- **Support for DaRT.** Supports optional integration of the DaRT components into the boot image.
- **Support for Office 2013.** Provides added support for deploying Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013.
- **Support for Modern UI app package provisioning.** Provisions applications based on the new Windows app package standard, which is used in Windows 8 and later.
- **Extensibility.** Provides the capability to extend MDT far beyond the built-in features by adding custom scripts, web services, System Center Orchestrator runbooks, PowerShell scripts, and VBScripts.
- **Upgrade task sequence.** Provides a new upgrade task sequence template that you can use to upgrade existing Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 systems directly to Windows 10, automatically preserving all data, settings, applications, and drivers. For more information about using this new upgrade task sequence, refer to the [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit resource page](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618117).

# MDT Lite Touch components
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
This topic provides an overview of the features in the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) that support Lite Touch Installation (LTI) for Windows 10. An LTI deployment strategy requires very little infrastructure or user interaction, and can be used to deploy an operating system from a network share or from a physical media, such as a USB flash drive or disc.
When deploying the Windows operating system using MDT, most of the administration and configuration is done through the Deployment Workbench, but you also can perform many of the tasks using Windows PowerShell. The easiest way to find out how to use PowerShell in MDT is to use the Deployment Workbench to perform an operation and at the end of that task, click View Script. That will give you the PowerShell command.
![figure 4](../images/mdt-05-fig04.png)
Figure 4. If you click **View Script** on the right side, you will get the PowerShell code that was used to perform the task.
## <a href="" id="sec01"></a>Deployment shares
A deployment share is essentially a folder on the server that is shared and contains all the setup files and scripts needed for the deployment solution. It also holds the configuration files (called rules) that are gathered when a machine is deployed. These configuration files can reach out to other sources, like a database, external script, or web server to get additional settings for the deployment. For Lite Touch deployments, it is common to have two deployment shares: one for creating the reference images and one for deployment. For Zero Touch, it is common to have only the deployment share for creating reference images because Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager deploys the image in the production environment.
## <a href="" id="sec02"></a>Rules
The rules (CustomSettings.ini and Bootstrap.ini) make up the brain of MDT. The rules control the Windows Deployment Wizard on the client and, for example, can provide the following settings to the machine being deployed:
- Computer name
- Domain to join, and organizational unit (OU) in Active Directory to hold the computer object
- Whether to enable BitLocker
- Regional settings
You can manage hundreds of settings in the rules. For more information, see the [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit resource center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618117).
![figure 5](../images/mdt-05-fig05.png)
Figure 5. Example of a MDT rule. In this example, the new computer name is being calculated based on PC- plus the first seven (Left) characters from the serial number
## <a href="" id="sec03"></a>Boot images
Boot images are the Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) images that are used to start the deployment. They can be started from a CD or DVD, an ISO file, a USB device, or over the network using a Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE) server. The boot images connect to the deployment
share on the server and start the deployment.
## <a href="" id="sec04"></a>Operating systems
Using the Deployment Workbench, you import the operating systems you want to deploy. You can import either the full source (like the full Windows 10 DVD/ISO) or a custom image that you have created. The full-source operating systems are primarily used to create reference images; however, they also can be used for normal deployments.
## <a href="" id="sec05"></a>Applications
Using the Deployment Workbench, you also add the applications you want to deploy. MDT supports virtually every executable Windows file type. The file can be a standard .exe file with command-line switches for an unattended install, a Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) package, a batch file, or a VBScript. In fact, it can be just about anything that can be executed unattended. MDT also supports the new Universal Windows apps.
## <a href="" id="sec06"></a>Driver repository
You also use the Deployment Workbench to import the drivers your hardware needs into a driver repository that lives on the server, not in the image.
## <a href="" id="sec07"></a>Packages
With the Deployment Workbench, you can add any Microsoft packages that you want to use. The most commonly added packages are language packs, and the Deployment Workbench Packages node works well for those. You also can add security and other updates this way. However, we generally recommend that you use Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) for operating system updates. The rare exceptions are critical hotfixes that are not available via WSUS, packages for the boot image, or any other package that needs to be deployed before the WSUS update process starts.
## <a href="" id="sec08"></a>Task sequences
Task sequences are the heart and soul of the deployment solution. When creating a task sequence, you need to select a template. The templates are located in the Templates folder in the MDT installation directory, and they determine which default actions are present in the sequence.
You can think of a task sequence as a list of actions that need to be executed in a certain order. Each action can also have conditions. Some examples of actions are as follows:
- **Gather.** Reads configuration settings from the deployment server.
- **Format and Partition.** Creates the partition(s) and formats them.
- **Inject Drivers.** Finds out which drivers the machine needs and downloads them from the central driver repository.
- **Apply Operating System.** Uses ImageX to apply the image.
- **Windows Update.** Connects to a WSUS server and updates the machine.
## <a href="" id="sec09"></a>Task sequence templates
MDT comes with nine default task sequence templates. You can also create your own templates. As long as you store them in the Templates folder, they will be available when you create a new task sequence.
- **Sysprep and Capture task sequence.** Used to run the System Preparation (Sysprep) tool and capture an image of a reference computer.
**Note**  
It is preferable to use a complete build and capture instead of the Sysprep and Capture task sequence. A complete build and capture can be automated, whereas Sysprep and Capture cannot.
- **Standard Client task sequence.** The most frequently used task sequence. Used for creating reference images and for deploying clients in production.
- **Standard Client Replace task sequence.** Used to run User State Migration Tool (USMT) backup and the optional full Windows Imaging (WIM) backup action. Can also be used to do a secure wipe of a machine that is going to be decommissioned.
- **Custom task sequence.** As the name implies, a custom task sequence with only one default action (one Install Application action).
- **Standard Server task sequence.** The default task sequence for deploying operating system images to servers. The main difference between this template and the Standard Client task sequence template is that it does not contain any USMT actions because USMT is not supported on servers.
- **Lite Touch OEM task sequence.** Used to preload operating systems images on the computer hard drive. Typically used by computer original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) but some enterprise organizations also use this feature.
- **Post OS Installation task sequence.** A task sequence prepared to run actions after the operating system has been deployed. Very useful for server deployments but not often used for client deployments.
- **Deploy to VHD Client task sequence.** Similar to the Standard Client task sequence template but also creates a virtual hard disk (VHD) file on the target computer and deploys the image to the VHD file.
- **Deploy to VHD Server task sequence.** Same as the Deploy to VHD Client task sequence but for servers.
- **Standard Client Upgrade task sequence.** A simple task sequence template used to perform an in-place upgrade from Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 directly to Windows 10, automatically preserving existing data, settings, applications, and drivers.
## <a href="" id="sec10"></a>Selection profiles
Selection profiles, which are available in the Advanced Configuration node, provide a way to filter content in the Deployment Workbench. Selection profiles are used for several purposes in the Deployment Workbench and in Lite Touch deployments. For example, they can be used to:
- Control which drivers and packages are injected into the Lite Touch (and generic) boot images.
- Control which drivers are injected during the task sequence.
- Control what is included in any media that you create.
- Control what is replicated to other deployment shares.
- Filter which task sequences and applications are displayed in the Deployment Wizard.
## <a href="" id="sec11"></a>Logging
MDT uses many log files during operating system deployments. By default the logs are client side, but by configuring the deployment settings, you can have MDT store them on the server, as well.
**Note**  
The easiest way to view log files is to use Configuration Manager Trace (CMTrace), which is included in the [System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager Toolkit](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=734717).
## <a href="" id="sec12"></a>Monitoring
On the deployment share, you also can enable monitoring. After you enable monitoring, you will see all running deployments in the Monitor node in the Deployment Workbench.

# Simulate a Windows 10 deployment in a test environment
This topic will walk you through the process of creating a simulated environment on which to test your Windows 10 deployment using MDT. When working with advanced settings and rules, especially those like database calls, it is most efficient to be able to test the settings without having to run through a complete deployment. Luckily, MDT enables you to perform a simulated deployment by running the Gather process by itself. The simulation works best when you are using a domain-joined machine (client or server). In the following example, you use the PC0001 Windows 10 client.
For the purposes of this topic, you already will have either downloaded and installed the free Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager Toolkit, or copied Configuration Manager Trace (CMTrace) if you have access to the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager media. We also assume that you have downloaded the [sample Gather.ps1 script](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619361) from the TechNet gallery.

Errors can also happen if the user has exceeded the number of devices that they are allowed to join, as configured in Azure AD.
An Azure AD device is created upon import - it's important that this object not be deleted. It acts as Autopilot's anchor in AAD for group membership and targeting (including the profile) and can lead to join errors if it's deleted. Once this object has been deleted, to fix the issue, deleting and reimporting this autopilot hash will be necessary so it can recreate the associated object.

# Windows Hello biometrics in the enterprise
@ -28,34 +28,36 @@ Windows Hello is the biometric authentication feature that helps strengthen auth
>[!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.
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.
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.

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.
- 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!
- 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.<br>For more info about the available Group Policies and MDM CSPs, see the [Implement Windows Hello for Business in your organization](hello-manage-in-organization.md) topic.
## Where is Windows 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.
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 from a device, it cannot be converted back into a raw biometric sample that could be recognized by the biometric sensor.
Each sensor on a device will have its own biometric database file where template data is stored. Each database has a unique, randomly generated key that is encrypted to the system. The template data for the sensor will be encrypted with this per-database key using AES with CBC chaining mode. The hash is SHA256. Some fingerprint sensors have the capability to complete matching on the fingerprint sensor module instead of in the OS. These sensors will store biometric data on the fingerprint module instead of in the database file.
## 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:
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).

The key registration process for the On-premises deployment of Windows Hello for Business needs the Windows Server 2016 Active Directory schema. The key-trust model receives the schema extension when the first Windows Server 2016 domain controller is added to the forest. The minimum required domain functional and forest functional levels for Windows Hello for Business deployment is Windows Server 2008 R2.

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.
## From Windows 10 version 1803, the Windows Hello feature can be used as a safe and secure sign-in method.
Fingerprint scan can be enabled on laptop computers using a built-in fingerprint reader or an external USB fingerprint reader, as follows:
1. Go to **Settings** > **Accounts** > **Sign-in-options** > **Windows Hello Fingerprint** > **Add fingerprint**
2. Users will need to add a PIN after adding their fingerprint(s) to the reader configuration.
3. Windows Biometric data is located in the `C:\Windows\System32\WinBioDatabase\` folder (fingerprint data is stored with the .DAT file name extension).
4. If you are unable to sign in with previously registered fingerprints, delete the entire content of this folder and register your fingerprints again.

A deployment's trust type defines how each Windows Hello for Business client authenticates to the on-premises Active Directory. There are two trust types: key trust and certificate trust.
The key trust type does not require issuing authentication certificates to end users. Users authenticate using a hardware-bound key created during the built-in provisioning experience. This requires an adequate distribution of Windows Server 2016 domain controllers relative to your existing authentication and the number of users included in your Windows Hello for Business deployment. Read the [Planning an adequate number of Windows Server 2016 Domain Controllers for Windows Hello for Business deployments](hello-adequate-domain-controllers.md) to learn more.

#### Key registration
The built-in Windows Hello for Business provisioning experience creates a hardware bound asymmetric key pair as their user’s credentials. The private key is protected by the device’s security modules; however, the credential is a user key (not a device key). The provisioning experience registers the user’s public key with the identity provider. For cloud only and hybrid deployments, the identity provider is Azure Active Directory. For on-premises deployments, the identity provider is the on-premises server running Windows Server 2016 Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) role.

For on-premises deployments, the identity provider is the on-premises server running Windows Server 2016 Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) role.
#### Multifactor authentication
> [!IMPORTANT]
> As of July 1, 2019, Microsoft will no longer offer MFA Server for new deployments. New customers who require multi-factor authentication for their users should use cloud-based Azure Multi-Factor Authentication. Existing customers who have activated MFA Server prior to July 1, 2019 will be able to download the latest version, future updates and generate activation credentials as usual. See [Getting started with the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/authentication/howto-mfaserver-deploy) for more details.
The goal of Windows Hello for Business is to move organizations away from passwords by providing them a strong credential that provides easy two-factor authentication. The built-in provisioning experience accepts the user’s weak credentials (username and password) as the first factor authentication; however, the user must provide a second factor of authentication before Windows provisions a strong credential.

Cloud only and hybrid deployments provide many choices for multi-factor authentication. On-premises deployments must use a multi-factor authentication that provides an AD FS multi-factor adapter to be used in conjunction with the on-premises Windows Server 2016 AD FS server role. Organizations can use the on-premises Azure Multi-factor Authentication server, or choose from several third parties (Read [Microsoft and third-party additional authentication methods](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/operations/configure-additional-authentication-methods-for-ad-fs#microsoft-and-third-party-additional-authentication-methods) for more information).

This topic for the IT professional describes how to monitor changes to central access policy and central access rule definitions when you use advanced security auditing options to monitor dynamic access control objects.
Central access policies and rules determine access permissions for multiple files on multiple file servers. Therefore, it is important to monitor changes to them. Like user claim and device claim definitions, central access policy and rule definitions reside in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), and they can be monitored just like any other object in Active Directory. Central access policies and rules are critical elements in a Dynamic Access Control deployment. These policies and rules are stored in AD DS, so they should be less likely to be tampered with than other network objects. However, it is important to monitor these objects for potential changes in security auditing and to verify that policies are being enforced.
This article for IT professionals describes how to monitor changes to central access policy and central access rule definitions when you use advanced security auditing options to monitor dynamic access control objects.
Use the following procedures to configure settings to monitor changes to central access policy and central access rule definitions and to verify the changes. These procedures assume that you have configured and deployed Dynamic Access Control, including central access policies, claims, and other components, in your network. If you have not yet deployed Dynamic Access Control in your network, see [Deploy a Central Access Policy (Demonstration Steps)](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh846167.aspx).
Central access policies and rules determine access permissions for files on multiple file servers, so it's important to monitor changes to them. Like user claim and device claim definitions, central access policy and rule definitions reside in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). You can monitor them just like any other object in Active Directory. These policies and rules are critical elements in a Dynamic Access Control deployment. They are stored in AD DS, so they're less likely to be tampered with than other network objects. But it's important to monitor them for potential changes in security auditing and to verify that policies are being enforced.
>**Note:**  Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings.

Organizations invest a large portion of their information technology budgets on security applications and services, such as antimalware software, firewalls, and encryption. But no matter how much security hardware or software you deploy, how tightly you control the rights of users, or how carefully you configure security permissions on your data, you should not consider the job complete unless you have a well-defined, timely auditing strategy to track the effectiveness of your defenses and identify attempts to circumvent them.
Organizations invest heavily in security applications and services, such as antimalware software, firewalls, and encryption. But no matter how much security hardware or software you deploy, how tightly you control the rights of users, or how carefully you configure security permissions on your data, the job isn't complete unless you have a well-defined, timely auditing strategy to track the effectiveness of your defenses and identify attempts to circumvent them.
To be well defined and timely, an auditing strategy must provide useful tracking data for an organization's most important resources, critical behaviors, and potential risks. In a growing number of organizations, it must also provide absolute proof that IT operations comply with corporate and regulatory requirements.
To be well-defined and timely, an auditing strategy must provide useful tracking data for an organization's most important resources, critical behaviors, and potential risks. In many organizations, it must also provide proof that IT operations comply with corporate and regulatory requirements.
Unfortunately, no organization has unlimited resources to monitor every resource and activity on a network. If you do not plan well, you will likely have gaps in your auditing strategy. However, if you try to audit every resource and activity, you may find yourself with far too much monitoring data, including thousands of benign audit entries that an analyst needs to sift through to identify the narrow set of entries that warrant closer examination. This could cause delays or even prevent auditors from identifying suspicious activity. Thus, too much monitoring can leave an organization as vulnerable as not enough monitoring.
No organization has unlimited resources to monitor every resource and activity on a network. If you don't plan well, you'll likely have gaps in your auditing strategy. But if you try to audit every resource and activity, you may gather too much monitoring data, including thousands of benign audit entries that an analyst will have to sift through to identify the narrow set of entries that warrant closer examination. Such volume could delay or prevent auditors from identifying suspicious activity. Too much monitoring can leave an organization as vulnerable as not enough.
Here are some features that can help you focus your effort:
- **Advanced audit policy settings**. You can apply and manage detailed audit policy settings through Group Policy.
- **"Reason for access" auditing**. You can specify and identify the permissions that were used to generate a particular object access security event.
- **Global object access auditing**. You can define system access control lists (SACLs) for an entire computer file system or registry.

To deploy these features and plan an effective security auditing strategy, you need to:
- Identify your most critical resources and the most important activities that need to be tracked.
- Identify the audit settings that can be used to track these activities.
- Identify your most critical resources and the most important activities that you need to track.
- Identify the audit settings that you can use to track these activities.
- Assess the advantages and potential costs associated with each.
- Test these settings to validate your choices.
- Develop plans for deploying and managing your audit policy.

This section provides recommendations and guidelines for the effective deployment of a Windows security audit policy. Configuring and deploying Windows audit policy settings in a test lab environment can help you confirm that the settings you have selected will produce the type of audit data you need. However, only a carefully staged pilot and incremental deployments based on your domain and organizational unit (OU) structure will enable you to confirm that the audit data you generate can be monitored and that it meets your organization's audit needs.

A security audit policy must support and be a critical and integrated aspect of an organization's overall security design and framework.
A security audit policy must support and be an integrated aspect of an organization's overall security framework.
Every organization has a unique set of data and network assets (such as customer and financial data and trade secrets), physical resources (such as desktop computers, portable computers, and servers), and users (which can include various internal groups such as finance and marketing, and external groups such as partners, customers, and anonymous users on the website). Not all of these assets, resources, and users justify the cost of an audit. Your task is to identify which assets, resources, and users provide the strongest justification for the focus of a security audit.

To create your Windows security audit plan, begin by identifying:
- The overall network environment, including the domains, OUs, and security groups.
- The resources on the network, the users of those resources, and how those resources are being used.
- Regulatory requirements.

### Network environment
An organization's domain and OU structure provide a fundamental starting point for thinking about how to apply a security audit policy because it likely provides a foundation of Group Policy Objects (GPOs) and logical grouping of resources and activities that you can use to apply the audit settings that you choose. It is also likely that certain portions of your domain and OU structure already provide logical groups of users, resources, and activities that justify the time and resources needed to audit them. For information about how to integrate a security audit policy with your domain and OU structure, see [Mapping security audit policy to groups of users, computers, and resources in your organization](#bkmk-2) later in this document.

In addition to your domain model, you should also find out whether your organization creates and maintains a systematic threat model. A good threat model can help you identify threats to key components in your infrastructure, so you can define and apply audit settings that enhance the organization's ability to identify and counter those threats.

### Data and resources
For data and resource auditing, you need to identify the most important types of data and resources (such as patient records, accounting data, or marketing plans) that can benefit from the closer monitoring that Windows auditing can provide. Some of these data resources might already be monitored through auditing features in products such as Microsoft SQL Server and Exchange Server. If so, you may want to consider how Windows auditing features can enhance the existing audit strategy. As with the domain and OU structure discussed previously, security auditing should focus on your most critical resources. You also must consider how much audit data you will be able to manage.

You can record if these resources have high business impact, medium business impact, or low business impact, the cost to the organization if these data resources are accessed by unauthorized users, and the risk that this access can pose to the organization. The type of access by users (such as Read, Modify, or Copy) can also pose different levels of risk to an organization.

The type of access by users (such as *read*, *modify*, or *copy*) can also pose different levels of risk.
Increasingly, data access and use is governed by regulations, and a breach can result in severe penalties and a loss in credibility for the organization. If regulatory compliance plays a role in how you manage your data, be sure to also document this information.

### Users
Many organizations find it useful to classify the types of users they have and base permissions on this classification. This same classification can help you identify which user activities should be the subject of security auditing and the amount of audit data they will generate.
Many organizations find it useful to classify the types of users they have and then base permissions on this classification. This classification can help you identify which user activities should be the subject of security auditing and the amount of audit data that they'll generate.
Organizations can create distinctions based on the type of rights and permissions needed by users to perform their jobs. For example, under the classification Administrators, larger organizations might assign local administrator responsibilities for a single computer, for specific applications such as Exchange Server or SQL Server, or for an entire domain. Under Users, permissions and Group Policy settings can apply to as many as all users in an organization or as few as a subset of the employees in a given department.

### Computers
Security and auditing requirements and audit event volume can vary considerably for different types of computers in an organization. These requirements can be based on:
- If the computers are servers, desktop computers, or portable computers.
- The important applications the computers run, such as Exchange Server, SQL Server, or Forefront Identity Manager.
- Whether the computers are servers, desktop computers, or portable computers
- The important applications that the computers run, such as Microsoft Exchange Server, SQL Server, or Forefront Identity Manager

### Regulatory requirements
Many industries and locales have strict and specific requirements for network operations and how resources are protected. In the health care and financial industries, for example, there are strict guidelines for who has access to records and how they are used. Many countries have strict privacy rules. To identify regulatory requirements, work with your organization's legal department and other departments responsible for these requirements. Then consider the security configuration and auditing options that can be used to comply with and verify compliance with these regulations.

## <a href="" id="bkmk-2"></a>Map your security audit policy to groups of users, computers, and resources
By using Group Policy, you can apply your security audit policy to defined groups of users, computers, and resources. To map a security auditing policy to these defined groups in your organization, you should understand the
following considerations for using Group Policy to apply security audit policy settings:
By using Group Policy, you can apply your security audit policy to defined groups of users, computers, and resources. To map a security auditing policy to these defined groups in your organization, you should understand the following considerations for using Group Policy to apply security audit policy settings:
- The policy settings you identify can be applied by using one or more GPOs. To create and edit a GPO, use the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). By using the GPMC to link a GPO to selected Active Directory sites, domains, and OUs, you apply the policy settings in the GPO to the users and computers in those Active Directory objects. An OU is the lowest-level Active Directory container to which you can assign Group Policy settings.
- For every policy setting that you select, you need to decide whether it should be enforced across the organization, or whether it should apply only to selected users or computers. You can then combine these audit policy settings into GPOs and link them to the appropriate Active Directory containers.
- By default, options set in GPOs that are linked to higher levels of Active Directory sites, domains, and OUs are inherited by all OUs at lower levels. However, a GPO that is linked at a lower level can overwrite inherited policies.

- By default, options set in GPOs that are linked to higher levels of Active Directory sites, domains, and OUs are inherited by all OUs at lower levels. However, a GPO that's linked at a lower level can overwrite inherited policies.
For example, you might use a domain GPO to assign an organization-wide group of audit settings, but want a certain OU to get a defined group of additional settings. To accomplish this, you can link a second GPO to that specific lower-level OU. Therefore, a logon audit setting that is applied at the OU level will override a conflicting logon audit setting that is applied at the domain level (unless you have taken special steps to apply Group Policy loopback processing).
For example, you might use a domain GPO to assign an organization-wide group of audit settings but want a certain OU to get a defined group of additional settings. To do this, you can link a second GPO to that specific lower-level OU. Then, a logon audit setting that's applied at the OU level will override a conflicting logon audit setting that's applied at the domain level, unless you've taken special steps to apply Group Policy loopback processing.
- Audit policies are computer policies. Therefore, they must be applied through GPOs that are applied to computer OUs, not to user OUs. However, in most cases you can apply audit settings for only specified resources and groups of users by configuring SACLs on the relevant objects. This enables auditing for a security group that contains only the users you specify.
- Audit policies are computer policies. Therefore, they must be applied through GPOs that are applied to *computer* OUs, not to *user* OUs. But in most cases, you can apply audit settings for only specified resources and groups of users by configuring SACLs on the relevant objects. This functionality enables auditing for a security group that contains only the users you specify.
For example, you could configure a SACL for a folder called Payroll Data on Accounting Server 1. This can audit attempts by members of the Payroll Processors OU to delete objects from this folder. The **Object Access\\Audit File System** audit policy setting applies to Accounting Server 1, but because it requires a corresponding resource SACL, only actions by members of the Payroll Processors OU on the Payroll Data folder generates audit events.
For example, you could configure a SACL for a folder called *Payroll Data* on Accounting Server 1. You can audit attempts by members of the Payroll Processors OU to delete objects from this folder. The **Object Access\\Audit File System** audit policy setting applies to Accounting Server 1. But, because it requires a corresponding resource SACL, only actions by members of the Payroll Processors OU on the Payroll Data folder will generate audit events.
- Advanced security audit policy settings were introduced in Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 and can be applied to those operating systems and later. These advanced audit polices can only be applied by using Group Policy.

>**Important:**  Whether you apply advanced audit policies by using Group Policy or by using logon scripts, do not use both the basic audit policy settings under **Local Policies\\Audit Policy** and the advanced settings under **Security Settings\\Advanced Audit Policy Configuration**. Using both basic and advanced audit policy settings can cause unexpected results in audit reporting.
If you use **Advanced Audit Policy Configuration** settings or use logon scripts to apply advanced audit policies, be sure to enable the **Audit: Force audit policy subcategory settings (Windows Vista or later) to override audit policy category settings** policy setting under **Local Policies\\Security Options**. This will prevent conflicts between similar settings by forcing basic security auditing to be ignored.

The following are examples of how audit policies can be applied to an organization's OU structure:
The following examples show how you can apply audit policies to an organization's OU structure:
- Apply data activity settings to an OU that contains file servers. If your organization has servers that contain particularly sensitive data, consider putting them in a separate OU so that you can configure and apply a more precise audit policy to these servers.
- Apply user activity audit policies to an OU that contains all computers in the organization. If your organization places users in OUs based on the department they work in, consider configuring and applying more detailed security permissions on critical resources that are accessed by employees who work in more sensitive areas, such as network administrators or the legal department.
- Apply data activity settings to an OU that contains file servers. If your organization has servers that contain sensitive data, consider putting them in a separate OU. Then you can configure and apply a more precise audit policy to these servers.
- Apply user activity audit policies to an OU that contains all computers in the organization. If your organization places users in OUs by department, consider applying more-detailed security permissions on critical resources that are accessed by employees who work in more-sensitive areas, such as network administrators or the legal department.
- Apply network and system activity audit policies to OUs that contain the organization's most critical servers, such as domain controllers, CAs, email servers, or database servers.

## <a href="" id="bkmk-3"></a>Map your security auditing goals to a security audit policy configuration
After you identify your security auditing goals, you can begin to map them to a security audit policy configuration. This audit policy configuration must address your most critical security auditing goals, but it also must address your organization's constraints, such as the number of computers that need to be monitored, the number of activities that you want to audit, the number of audit events that your desired audit configuration will generate, and the number of administrators available to analyze and act upon audit data.
After you identify your security auditing goals, you can map them to a security audit policy configuration. This audit policy configuration must address your security auditing goals. But it also must reflect your organization's constraints, such as the numbers of:
- Computers that need to be monitored
- Activities that you want to audit
- Audit events that your audit configuration will generate
- Administrators available to analyze and act upon audit data
To create your audit policy configuration, you need to:
1. Explore all of the audit policy settings that can be used to address your needs.
2. Choose the audit settings that will most effectively address the audit requirements identified in the previous section.
3. Confirm that the settings you choose are compatible with the operating systems running on the computers that you want to monitor.
4. Decide which configuration options (Success, Failure, or both Success and Failure) you want to use for the audit settings.
5. Deploy the audit settings in a lab or test environment to verify that they meet your desired results in terms of volume, supportability, and comprehensiveness. Then deploy the audit settings in a pilot production environment to ensure that your estimates of how much audit data your audit plan will generate are realistic and that you can manage this data.

Depending on your goals, different sets of audit settings may be of particular value to you. For example, some settings under *Security Settings\\Advanced Audit Policy Configuration* can be used to monitor the following types of activity:
- Data and resources
- Users
- Network
>**Important:**  Settings that are described in the Reference might also provide valuable information about activity audited by another setting. For example, the settings used to monitor user activity and network activity have obvious relevance to protecting your data resources. Likewise, attempts to compromise data resources have huge implications for overall network status, and potentially for how well you are managing the activities of users on the network.

### Data and resource activity
For many organizations, compromising the organization's data resources can cause tremendous financial losses, in addition to lost prestige and legal liability. If your organization has critical data resources that need to be
protected against any breach, the following settings can provide extremely valuable monitoring and forensic data:
Compromise to an organization's data resources can cause tremendous financial losses, lost prestige, and legal liability. If your organization has critical data resources that must be protected, the following settings can provide valuable monitoring and forensic data:
- Object Access\\[Audit File Share](audit-file-share.md). This policy setting allows you to track what content was accessed, the source (IP address and port) of the request, and the user account that was used for the access. The volume of event data generated by this setting will vary depending on the number of client computers that attempt to access the file share. On a file server or domain controller, volume may be high due to SYSVOL access by client computers for policy processing. If you do not need to record routine access by client computers that have permissions on the file share, you may want to log audit events only for failed attempts to access the file share.
- Object Access\\[Audit File System](audit-file-system.md). This policy setting determines whether the operating system audits user attempts to access file system objects. Audit events are only generated for objects (such as files and folders) that have configured SACLs, and only if the type of access requested (such as Write, Read, or Modify) and the account that is making the request match the settings in the SACL.
- **Object Access\\[Audit File Share](audit-file-share.md)**: This policy setting enables you to track what content was accessed, the source (IP address and port) of the request, and the user account that was used for the access. The volume of event data generated with this setting will vary depending on the number of client computers that try to access the file share. On a file server or domain controller, volume may be high because of SYSVOL access by client computers for policy processing. If you don't need to record routine access by client computers on the file share, you may want to log audit events only for failed attempts to access the file share.
- **Object Access\\[Audit File System](audit-file-system.md)**: This policy setting determines whether the operating system audits user attempts to access file system objects. Audit events are only generated for objects, such as files and folders, that have configured SACLs, and only if the type of access requested (such as *write*, *read*, or *modify*) and the account that's making the request match the settings in the SACL.
If success auditing is enabled, an audit entry is generated each time any account successfully accesses a file system object that has a matching SACL. If failure auditing is enabled, an audit entry is generated each time any user unsuccessfully attempts to access a file system object that has a matching SACL. The amount of audit data generated by the **Audit File System** policy setting can vary considerably, depending on the number of objects that have been configured to be monitored.
If *success* auditing is enabled, an audit entry is generated each time any account successfully accesses a file system object that has a matching SACL. If *failure* auditing is enabled, an audit entry is generated each time any user unsuccessfully attempts to access a file system object that has a matching SACL. The amount of audit data generated by the **Audit File System** policy setting can vary considerably, depending on the number of objects that you configured to be monitored.
>**Note:**  To audit user attempts to access all file system objects on a computer, use the Global Object Access Auditing settings [Registry (Global Object Access Auditing)](registry-global-object-access-auditing.md) or [File System (Global Object Access Auditing)](file-system-global-object-access-auditing.md).
> [!NOTE]
> To audit user attempts to access all file system objects on a computer, use the *Global Object Access Auditing* settings [Registry (Global Object Access Auditing)](registry-global-object-access-auditing.md) or [File System (Global Object Access Auditing)](file-system-global-object-access-auditing.md).
- Object Access\\[Audit Handle Manipulation](audit-handle-manipulation.md). This policy setting determines whether the operating system generates audit events when a handle to an object is opened or closed. Only objects with configured SACLs generate these events, and only if the attempted handle operation matches the SACL.
- **Object Access\\[Audit Handle Manipulation](audit-handle-manipulation.md)**: This policy setting determines whether the operating system generates audit events when a handle to an object is opened or closed. Only objects with configured SACLs generate these events and only if the attempted handle operation matches the SACL.
Event volume can be high, depending on how SACLs are configured. When used together with the **Audit File System** or **Audit Registry** policy settings, the **Audit Handle Manipulation** policy setting can provide an administrator with useful "reason for access" audit data that details the precise permissions on which the audit event is based. For example, if a file is configured as a Read-only resource but a user attempts to save changes to the file, the audit event will log not only the event, but also the permissions that were used (or attempted to be used) to save the file changes.

- **Global Object Access Auditing**: Many organizations use security auditing to comply with regulatory requirements that govern data security and privacy. But demonstrating that strict controls are being enforced can be difficult. To address this issue, the supported versions of Windows include two **Global Object Access Auditing** policy settings, one for the registry and one for the file system. When you configure these settings, they apply a global system access control SACL on all objects of that class on a system. These settings can't be overridden or circumvented.

### User activity
The settings in the previous section relate to activity involving the files, folders, and network shares that are stored on a network, and the settings in this section focus on the users, including employees, partners, and customers, who may try to access those resources.
The settings in the previous section relate to activity involving the files, folders, and network shares that are stored on a network. The settings in this section focus on the users who may try to access those resources, including employees, partners, and customers.
In the majority of cases, these attempts will be legitimate and a network needs to make vital data readily available to legitimate users. However in other cases, employees, partners, and others may attempt to access resources that they have no legitimate reason to access. Security auditing can be used to track a wide variety of user activities on a particular computer to diagnose and resolve problems for legitimate users and identify and address illegitimate activities. The following are a few important settings that you should evaluate to track user activity on your network:
In most cases, these attempts are legitimate, and the network needs to make data readily available to legitimate users. But in other cases, employees, partners, and others may try to access resources that they have no legitimate reason to access. You can use security auditing to track a variety of user activities on a particular computer to diagnose and resolve problems for legitimate users and to identify and address illegitimate activities. The following are important settings that you should evaluate to track user activity on your network:
- Account Logon\\[Audit Credential Validation](audit-credential-validation.md). This is an extremely important policy setting because it enables you to track every successful and unsuccessful attempt to present credentials for a user logon. In particular, a pattern of unsuccessful attempts may indicate that a user or application is using credentials that are no longer valid, or attempting to use a variety of credentials in succession in hope that one of these attempts will eventually be successful. These events occur on the computer that is authoritative for the credentials. For domain accounts, the domain controller is authoritative. For local accounts, the local computer is authoritative.
- Detailed Tracking\\[Audit Process Creation](audit-process-creation.md) and Detailed Tracking\\[Audit Process Termination](audit-process-termination.md). These policy settings can enable you to monitor the applications that a user opens and closes on a computer.
- DS Access\\[Audit Directory Service Access](audit-directory-service-access.md) and DS Access\\[Audit Directory Service Changes](audit-directory-service-changes.md). These policy settings provide a detailed audit trail of attempts to access create, modify, delete, move, or undelete objects in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Only domain administrators have permissions to modify AD DS objects, so it is extremely important to identify malicious attempts to modify these objects. In addition, although domain administrators should be among an organization's most trusted employees, the use of **Audit Directory Service Access** and **Audit Directory Service Changes** settings allow you to monitor and verify that only approved changes are made to AD DS. These audit events are logged only on domain controllers.
- Logon/Logoff\\[Audit Account Lockout](audit-account-lockout.md). Another common security scenario occurs when a user attempts to log on with an account that has been locked out. It is important to identify these events and to determine whether the attempt to use an account that has been locked out is malicious.
- Logon/Logoff\\[Audit Logoff](audit-logoff.md) and Logon/Logoff\\[Audit Logon](audit-logon.md). Logon and logoff events are essential to tracking user activity and detecting potential attacks. Logon events are related to the creation of logon sessions, and they occur on the computer that was accessed. For an interactive logon, events are generated on the computer that was logged on to. For network logon, such as accessing a shared resource, events are generated on the computer that hosts the resource that was accessed. Logoff events are generated when logon sessions are terminated.
- **Account Logon\\[Audit Credential Validation](audit-credential-validation.md)**: This setting enables you to track all successful and unsuccessful logon attempts. A pattern of unsuccessful attempts may indicate that a user or application is using credentials that are no longer valid. Or the user or app is trying to use a variety of credentials in succession in hope that one of these attempts will eventually succeed. These events occur on the computer that's authoritative for the credentials. For domain accounts, the domain controller is authoritative. For local accounts, the local computer is authoritative.
- **Detailed Tracking\\[Audit Process Creation](audit-process-creation.md) and Detailed Tracking\\[Audit Process Termination](audit-process-termination.md)**: These policy settings enable you to monitor the applications that a user opens and close on a computer.
- **DS Access\\[Audit Directory Service Access](audit-directory-service-access.md)** and **DS Access\\[Audit Directory Service Changes](audit-directory-service-changes.md)**: These policy settings provide a detailed audit trail of attempts to access, create, modify, delete, move, or undelete objects in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Only domain administrators have permissions to modify AD DS objects, so it's important to identify malicious attempts to modify these objects. Also, although domain administrators should be among an organization's most trusted employees, the use of the **Audit Directory Service Access** and **Audit Directory Service Changes** settings enable you to monitor and verify that only approved changes are made to AD DS. These audit events are logged only on domain controllers.
- **Logon/Logoff\\[Audit Account Lockout](audit-account-lockout.md)**: Another common security scenario occurs when a user attempts to log on with an account that's been locked out. It's important to identify these events and to determine whether the attempt to use an account that was locked out is malicious.
- **Logon/Logoff\\[Audit Logoff](audit-logoff.md)** and **Logon/Logoff\\[Audit Logon](audit-logon.md)**: Logon and logoff events are essential to tracking user activity and detecting potential attacks. Logon events are related to the creation of logon sessions, and they occur on the computer that was accessed. For an interactive logon, events are generated on the computer that was logged on to. For network logon, such as accessing a shared resource, events are generated on the computer that hosts the resource that was accessed. Logoff events are generated when logon sessions are terminated.
>**Note:**  There is no failure event for logoff activity because failed logoffs (such as when a system abruptly shuts down) do not generate an audit record. Logoff events are not 100 percent reliable. For example, the computer can be turned off without a proper logoff and shutdown, and a logoff event is not generated.

For example, a computer can be turned off without a proper logoff and shut down, so a logoff event isn't generated.
- Logon/Logoff\\[Audit Special Logon](audit-special-logon.md). A special logon has administrator-equivalent rights and can be used to elevate a process to a higher level. It is recommended to track these types of logons. For more information about this feature, see [article 947223](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=120183) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
- Object Access\\[Audit Certification Services](audit-certification-services.md). This policy setting allows you to track and monitor a wide variety of activities on a computer that hosts Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) role services to ensure that only authorized users are performing or attempting to perform these tasks, and that only authorized or desired tasks are being performed.
- Object Access\\[Audit File System](audit-file-system.md) and Object Access\\[Audit File Share](audit-file-share.md). These policy settings are described in the previous section.
- Object Access\\[Audit Handle Manipulation](audit-handle-manipulation.md). This policy setting and its role in providing "reason for access" audit data is described in the previous section.
- Object Access\\[Audit Registry](audit-registry.md). Monitoring for changes to the registry is one of the most critical means that an administrator has to ensure malicious users do not make changes to essential computer settings. Audit events are only generated for objects that have configured SACLs, and only if the type of access that is requested (such as Write, Read, or Modify) and the account making the request match the settings in the SACL.
- **Logon/Logoff\\[Audit Special Logon](audit-special-logon.md)**: A special logon has administrator-equivalent rights and can be used to elevate a process to a higher level. It's recommended to track these types of logons.
- **Object Access\\[Audit Certification Services](audit-certification-services.md)**: This policy setting enables you to monitor activities on a computer that hosts Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) role services to ensure that only authorized users do these tasks and only authorized or desirable tasks are done.
- **Object Access\\[Audit File System](audit-file-system.md) and Object Access\\[Audit File Share](audit-file-share.md)**: These policy settings are described in the previous section.
- **Object Access\\[Audit Handle Manipulation](audit-handle-manipulation.md)**: This policy setting and its role in providing "reason for access" audit data is described in the previous section.
- **Object Access\\[Audit Registry](audit-registry.md)**: Monitoring for changes to the registry is one of the best ways for administrators to ensure that malicious users don't make changes to essential computer settings. Audit events are only generated for objects that have configured SACLs and only if the type of access that's requested, such as *write*, *read*, or *modify*, and the account making the request match the settings in the SACL.
>**Important:**  On critical systems where all attempts to change registry settings need to be tracked, you can combine the **Audit Registry** policy setting with the **Global Object Access Auditing** policy settings to ensure that all attempts to modify registry settings on a computer are tracked.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> On critical systems where all attempts to change registry settings should be tracked, you can combine the **Audit Registry** and **Global Object Access Auditing** policy settings to track all attempts to modify registry settings on a computer.
- Object Access\\[Audit SAM](audit-sam.md). The Security Accounts Manager (SAM) is a database that is present on computers running Windows that stores user accounts and security descriptors for users on the local computer. Changes to user and group objects are tracked by the **Account Management** audit category. However, user accounts with the proper user rights could potentially alter the files where the account and password information is stored in the system, bypassing any **Account Management** events.
- Privilege Use\\[Audit Sensitive Privilege Use](audit-sensitive-privilege-use.md). **Privilege Use** policy settings and audit events allow you to track the use of certain rights on one or more systems. If you configure this policy setting, an audit event is generated when sensitive rights requests are made.
- **Object Access\\[Audit SAM](audit-sam.md)**: The Security Accounts Manager (SAM) is a database on computers running Windows that stores user accounts and security descriptors for users on the local computer. Changes to user and group objects are tracked by the **Account Management** audit category. However, user accounts with the proper user rights could potentially alter the files where the account and password information is stored in the system, bypassing any **Account Management** events.
- **Privilege Use\\[Audit Sensitive Privilege Use](audit-sensitive-privilege-use.md)**: These policy settings and audit events enable you to track the use of certain rights on one or more systems. If you configure this policy setting, an audit event is generated when sensitive rights requests are made.
### Network activity
The following network activity policy settings allow you to monitor security-related issues that are not necessarily covered in the data or user activity categories, but that can be equally important for network status and protection.
The following network activity policy settings enable you to monitor security-related issues that aren't necessarily covered in the data or user-activity categories but that can be important for network status and protection.
- **Account Management**. The policy settings in this category can be used to track attempts to create, delete, or modify user or computer accounts, security groups, or distribution groups. Monitoring these activities complements the monitoring strategies you select in the user activity and data activity sections.
- Account Logon\\[Audit Kerberos Authentication Service](audit-kerberos-authentication-service.md) and Account Logon\\[Audit Kerberos Service Ticket Operations](audit-kerberos-service-ticket-operations.md). Audit policy settings in the **Account Logon** category monitor activities that relate to the use of domain account credentials. These policy settings complement the policy settings in the **Logon/Logoff** category. The **Audit Kerberos Authentication Service** policy setting allows you to monitor the status of and potential threats to the Kerberos service. The Audit **Kerberos Service Ticket Operations** policy setting allows you to monitor the use of Kerberos service tickets.
- **Account Management**: Use the policy settings in this category to track attempts to create, delete, or modify user or computer accounts, security groups, or distribution groups. Monitoring these activities complements the monitoring strategies you select in the [User activity](#user-activity) and [Data and resource activity](#data-and-resource-activity) sections.
- **Account Logon\\[Audit Kerberos Authentication Service](audit-kerberos-authentication-service.md) and Account Logon\\[Audit Kerberos Service Ticket Operations](audit-kerberos-service-ticket-operations.md)**: Audit policy settings in the **Account Logon** category monitor activities that relate to the use of domain account credentials. These policy settings complement the policy settings in the **Logon/Logoff** category. The **Audit Kerberos Authentication Service** policy setting enables you to monitor the status of and potential threats to the Kerberos service. The Audit **Kerberos Service Ticket Operations** policy setting enables you to monitor the use of Kerberos service tickets.
>**Note:**  **Account Logon** policy settings apply only to specific domain account activities, regardless of the computer that is accessed, whereas **Logon/Logoff** policy settings apply to the computer that hosts the resources being accessed.
>[!NOTE]
>**Account Logon** policy settings apply only to specific domain account activities, regardless of which computer is accessed. **Logon/Logoff** policy settings apply to the computer that hosts the resources that are accessed.
- Account Logon\\[Audit Other Account Logon Events](audit-other-account-logon-events.md). This policy setting can be used to track a number of different network activities, including attempts to create Remote Desktop connections, wired network connections, and wireless connections.
- **DS Access**. Policy settings in this category allow you to monitor the AD DS role services, which provide account data, validate logons, maintain network access permissions, and provide other services that are critical to the secure and proper functioning of a network. Therefore, auditing the rights to access and modify the configuration of a domain controller can help an organization maintain a secure and reliable network. In addition, one of the key tasks performed by AD DS is the replication of data between domain controllers.
- Logon/Logoff\\[Audit IPsec Extended Mode](audit-ipsec-extended-mode.md), Logon/Logoff\\[Audit IPsec Main Mode](audit-ipsec-main-mode.md), and Logon/Logoff\\[Audit IPsec Quick Mode](audit-ipsec-quick-mode.md). Many networks support large numbers of external users, including remote employees and partners. Because these users are outside the organization's network boundaries, IPsec is often used to help protect communications over the Internet by enabling network-level peer authentication, data origin authentication, data integrity, data confidentiality (encryption), and protection against replay attacks. You can use these settings to ensure that IPsec services are functioning properly.
- Logon/Logoff\\[Audit Network Policy Server](audit-network-policy-server.md). Organizations that use RADIUS (IAS) and Network Access Protection (NAP) to set and maintain security requirements for external users can use this policy setting to monitor the effectiveness of these policies and to determine whether anyone is attempting to circumvent these protections.
- **Policy Change**. These policy settings and events allow you to track changes to important security policies on a local computer or network. Because policies are typically established by administrators to help secure network resources, any changes or attempts to change these policies can be an important aspect of security management for a network.
- Policy Change\\[Audit Audit Policy Change](audit-audit-policy-change.md). This policy setting allows you to monitor changes to the audit policy. If malicious users obtain domain administrator credentials, they can temporarily disable essential security audit policy settings so that their other activities on the network cannot be detected.
- Policy Change\\[Audit Filtering Platform Policy Change](audit-filtering-platform-policy-change.md). This policy setting can be used to monitor a large variety of changes to an organization's IPsec policies.
- Policy Change\\[Audit MPSSVC Rule-Level Policy Change](audit-mpssvc-rule-level-policy-change.md). This policy setting determines if the operating system generates audit events when changes are made to policy rules for the Microsoft Protection Service (MPSSVC.exe), which is used by Windows Firewall. Changes to firewall rules are important for understanding the security state of the computer and how well it is protected against network attacks.
- **Account Logon\\[Audit Other Account Logon Events](audit-other-account-logon-events.md)**: This policy setting can be used to track various network activities, including attempts to create Remote Desktop connections, wired network connections, and wireless connections.
- **DS Access**: Policy settings in this category enable you to monitor AD DS role services. These services provide account data, validate logons, maintain network access permissions, and provide other functionality that's critical to secure and proper functioning of a network. Therefore, auditing the rights to access and modify the configuration of a domain controller can help an organization maintain a secure and reliable network. One of the key tasks that AD DS performs is replication of data between domain controllers.

Because these users are outside the organization's network boundaries, IPsec is often used to help protect communications over the internet. It enables network-level peer authentication, data origin authentication, data integrity checks, data confidentiality (encryption), and protection against replay attacks. You can use these settings to ensure that IPsec services are functioning properly.
- **Logon/Logoff\\[Audit Network Policy Server](audit-network-policy-server.md)**: Organizations that use RADIUS (IAS) and Network Access Protection (NAP) to set and maintain security requirements for external users can use this policy setting to monitor the effectiveness of these policies and to determine whether anyone is trying to circumvent these protections.
- **Policy Change**: These policy settings and events enable you to track changes to important security policies on a local computer or network. Because policies are typically established by administrators to help secure network resources, monitoring any changes or attempted changes to these policies can be an important aspect of security management for a network.
- **Policy Change\\[Audit Audit Policy Change](audit-audit-policy-change.md)**: This policy setting allows you to monitor changes to the audit policy. If malicious users obtain domain administrator credentials, they can temporarily disable essential security audit policy settings so that their other activities on the network can't be detected.
- **Policy Change\\[Audit Filtering Platform Policy Change](audit-filtering-platform-policy-change.md)**: This policy setting can be used to monitor a variety of changes to an organization's IPsec policies.
- **Policy Change\\[Audit MPSSVC Rule-Level Policy Change](audit-mpssvc-rule-level-policy-change.md)**: This policy setting determines if the operating system generates audit events when changes are made to policy rules for the Microsoft Protection Service (MPSSVC.exe), which is used by Windows Firewall. Changes to firewall rules are important for understanding the security state of the computer and how well it's protected against network attacks.

### Success, failure, or both
### *Success*, *failure*, or both
Whichever event settings you include in your plan, you also have to decide whether you want to log an event when the activity fails, when an activity succeeds, or both successes and failures. This is an important question, and the answer will be based on the criticality of the event and the implications of the decision on event volume.
Whichever event settings you include in your plan, you also have to decide whether you want to log an event when the activity fails or succeeds or both successes *and* failures. This is an important question. The answer depends on the criticality of the event and the implications of the decision for event volume.
For example, on a file server that is accessed frequently by legitimate users, you may be interested in logging an event only when an unsuccessful attempt to access data takes place, because this could be evidence of an unauthorized or malicious user. And in this instance, logging successful attempts to access the server would quickly fill the event log with benign events.

In this case, logging *successful* attempts to access the server would quickly fill the event log with benign events.
On the other hand, if the file share has extremely sensitive and valuable information, such as trade secrets, you may want to log every access attempt, whether successful or unsuccessful, so that you have an audit trail of every user who accessed the resource.

Networks can contain hundreds of servers running critical services or storing critical data, all of which need to be monitored. The number of client computers on the network can easily range into the tens or even hundreds of thousands. This may not be an issue if the ratio of servers or client computers per administrator is low. Even if an administrator who is responsible for auditing security and performance issues has relatively few computers to monitor, you need to decide how an administrator will obtain event data to review. Following are some options for obtaining the event data.
Networks may contain hundreds of servers that run critical services or store critical data, all of which need to be monitored. There may be tens or even hundreds of thousands of computers on the network. These numbers may not be an issue if the ratio of servers or client computers per administrator is low. And even if an administrator who is responsible for auditing security and performance issues has relatively few computers to monitor, you need to decide how the administrator will obtain event data to review. Following are some options for obtaining the event data.
- Will you keep event data on a local computer until an administrator logs on to review this data? If so, then the administrator needs to have physical or remote access to the Event Viewer on each client computer or server, and the remote access and firewall settings on each client computer or server need to be configured to enable this access. In addition, you need to decide how often an administrator can visit each computer, and adjust the size of the audit log so that critical information is not deleted if the log reaches its maximum capacity.
- Will you collect event data so that it can be reviewed from a central console? If so, there are a number of computer management products, such as the Audit Collection Services in Operations Manager 2007 and 2012, which can be used to collect and filter event data. Presumably this solution enables a single administrator to review larger amounts of data than using the local storage option. But in some cases, this can make it more difficult to detect clusters of related events that can occur on a single computer.

To configure these options, open Event Viewer, expand **Windows Logs**, right-click **Security**, and select **Properties**. You can configure the following properties:
- **Overwrite events as needed (oldest events first)**. This is the default option, which is an acceptable solution in most situations.
- **Archive the log when full, do not overwrite events**. This option can be used when all log data needs to be saved, but it also suggests that you may not be reviewing audit data frequently enough.
- **Do not overwrite events (Clear logs manually)**. This option stops the collection of audit data when the log file reaches its maximum size. Older data is retained at the expense of the most recent audit events. Use this option only if you do not want to lose any audit data, do not want to create an archive of the event log, and are committed to reviewing data before the maximum log size is reached.

Before deploying the audit policy in a production environment, it is critical that you determine the effects of the policy settings that you have configured.
The first step in assessing your audit policy deployment is to create a test environment in a lab and use it to simulate the various use scenarios that you have identified to confirm that the audit settings you have selected are configured correctly and generate the type of results you intend.
Before deploying the audit policy in a production environment, it's critical that you determine the effects of the policy settings that you've configured.
However, unless you are able to run fairly realistic simulations of network usage patterns, a lab setup cannot provide you with accurate information about the volume of audit data that the audit policy settings you selected will generate and how effective your plan for monitoring audit data will be. To provide this type of information, you need to conduct one or more pilot deployments. These pilot deployments could involve:

# How Microsoft identifies malware and potentially unwanted applications
Microsoft aims to provide a delightful and productive Windows experience by working to ensure you are safe and in control of your devices. When you download, install, and run software, you have access to information and tools to do so safely. Microsoft helps protect you from potential threats by identifying and analyzing software and online content. That information is then compared against criteria described in this article.
Microsoft aims to provide a delightful and productive Windows experience by working to ensure you are safe and in control of your devices. Microsoft helps protect you from potential threats by identifying and analyzing software and online content. When you download, install, and run software, we check the reputation of downloaded programs and ensure you are protected against known threats and warned about software that is unknown to us.
You can participate in this process by [submitting software for analysis](submission-guide.md) to ensure undesirable software is covered by our security solutions.

Because new forms of malware and potentially unwanted applications are being developed and distributed rapidly, Microsoft reserves the right to adjust, expand, and update these criteria without prior notice or announcements.
The next sections provide an overview of the classifications we use for applications and the types of behaviors that lead to that classification.

> New forms of malware and potentially unwanted applications are being developed and distributed rapidly. The following list may not be comprehensive, and Microsoft reserves the right to adjust, expand, and update these without prior notice or announcement.
## Unknown – Unrecognized software
No antivirus or protection technology is perfect. It takes time to identify and block malicious sites and applications, or trust newly released programs and certificates.  With almost 2 billion websites on the internet and software continuously being updated and released, it's impossible to have information about every single site and program.
You can think of Unknown/Uncommonly downloaded warnings as an early warning system for potentially undetected malware, as there is generally a delay from the time new malware is released until it is identified. Not all uncommon programs are malicious, but the risk in the unknown category is significantly higher for the typical user. Warnings for unknown software are not blocks, and users can choose to download and run the application normally if they wish to.
Once enough data is gathered, Microsoft's security solutions can make a determination. Either no threats are found, or an application or software is categorized as malware or potentially unwanted software.
## Malware

* **Obfuscator:** A type of malware that hides its code and purpose, making it more difficult for security software to detect or remove.
* **Password stealer:** A type of malware that gathers your personal information, such as user names and passwords. It often works along with a keylogger, which collects and sends information about the keys you press and websites you visit.

# Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration
# Interactive log on: Prompt the user to change passwords before expiration
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
Describes the best practices, location, values, policy management and security considerations for the **Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration** security policy setting.
This article describes the best practices, location, values, policy management, and security considerations for the **Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration** security policy setting.
## Reference
The **Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration** policy setting determines how many days in advance users are warned that their passwords are about to expire. With this advance warning, the user has time to construct a password that is sufficiently strong.
This policy setting determines when users are warned that their passwords are about to expire. This warning gives users time to select a strong password before their current password expires to avoid losing system access.
### Possible values
- A user-defined number of days from 0 through 999.
- Not defined.
- A user-defined number of days from 0 through 999
- Not defined
### Best practices
1. Configure user passwords to expire periodically. Users will need warning that their passwords are going to expire, or they might inadvertently get locked out of the system. This could lead to confusion for users who access the network locally, or make it impossible for users who access the network through dial-up or virtual private network (VPN) connections to log on.
2. Set **Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration** to 5 days. When their password expiration date is 5 or fewer days away, users will see a dialog box each time they log on to the domain.
3. Do not set the value to 0, which results in displaying the password expiration warning every time the user logs on.

### Vulnerability
If user passwords are configured to expire periodically in your organization, users need to be warned when this is about to happen, or they may be locked out of the device inadvertently when their passwords expire. This condition could lead to confusion for users who access the network locally, or make it impossible for users to access your organization's network through dial-up or virtual private network (VPN) connections.

Implementation of digital signatures in high-security networks helps prevent the impersonation of client computers and servers, which is known as "session hijacking." But misuse of these policy settings is a common error that can cause data access failure.
Implementation of digital signatures in high-security networks helps prevent the impersonation of client computers and servers, which is known as "session hijacking." Misuse of these policy settings is a common error that can cause data access failure.
Beginning with SMBv2 clients and servers, signing can be either required or not required. If this policy setting is enabled, SMBv2 clients will digitally sign all packets. Another policy setting determines whether signing is required for SMBv3 and SMBv2 server communications: [Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always)](microsoft-network-server-digitally-sign-communications-always.md).
Beginning with SMBv2 clients and servers, signing can be either *required* or *not required*. If this policy setting is enabled, SMBv2 clients will digitally sign all packets. Another policy setting determines whether signing is required for SMBv3 and SMBv2 server communications: [Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always)](microsoft-network-server-digitally-sign-communications-always.md).
There is a negotiation done between the SMB client and the SMB server to decide whether signing will effectively be used. The following table has the effective behavior for SMBv3 and SMBv2.

### Vulnerability
Session hijacking uses tools that allow attackers who have access to the same network as the client device or server to interrupt, end, or steal a session in progress. Attackers can potentially intercept and modify unsigned SMB packets and then modify the traffic and forward it so that the server might perform objectionable actions. Alternatively, the attacker could pose as the server or client computer after legitimate authentication, and gain unauthorized access to data.

SMB is the resource-sharing protocol that is supported by many Windows operating systems. It is the basis of many modern features like Storage Spaces Direct, Storage Replica, and SMB Direct, as well as many legacy protocols and tools. SMB signatures authenticate users and the servers that host the data. If either side fails the authentication process, data transmission does not take place.

### Countermeasure
Enable **Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always)**.
>[!NOTE]

There are hardware-based accelerators for IPsec encryption and signing that could be used to minimize the performance impact on the servers' CPUs. No such accelerators are available for SMB signing.

### Potential impact
Storage speeds impact performance. A faster drive on the source and destination allows more throughput, which causes more CPU usage of signing. If you are using a 1 Gb Ethernet network or slower storage speed with a modern CPU, there is limited degradation in performance. If you are using a faster network (such as 10 Gb), the performance impact of signing may be greater.

This article describes the best practices, location, and values for the **Network Security: Allow PKU2U authentication requests to this computer to use online identities** security policy setting.
## Reference
Starting with Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7, the Negotiate Security Support Provider (SSP) supports an extension SSP, Negoexts.dll. This extension SSP is treated as an authentication protocol by the Windows operating system, and it supports SSPs from Microsoft, including PKU2U. You can also develop or add other SSPs.

This extension SSP is treated as an authentication protocol by the Windows operating system. It supports SSPs from Microsoft, including PKU2U. You can also develop or add other SSPs.
When devices are configured to accept authentication requests by using online IDs, Negoexts.dll calls the PKU2U SSP on the computer that is used to log on. The PKU2U SSP obtains a local certificate and exchanges the policy between the peer computers. When validated on the peer computer, the certificate within the metadata is sent to the logon peer for validation. It associates the user's certificate to a security token, and then the logon process completes.

### Possible values
- **Enabled**
- **Enabled**: This setting allows authentication to successfully complete between the two (or more) computers that have established a peer relationship through the use of online IDs. The PKU2U SSP obtains a local certificate and exchanges the policy between the peer devices. When validated on the peer computer, the certificate within the metadata is sent to the logon peer for validation. It associates the user's certificate to a security token, and then the logon process completes.

### Vulnerability
Enabling this policy setting allows a user’s account on one computer to be associated with an online identity, such as Microsoft Account, so that account can log on to a peer device (if the peer device is likewise configured) without the use of a Windows logon account (domain or local). Although this is beneficial for workgroups or home groups, using this feature in a domain-joined environment might circumvent your established security policies.

# Understand WDAC policy rules and file rules
@ -126,3 +126,19 @@ Wildcards can be used at the beginning or end of a path rule; only one wildcard
> [!NOTE]
> Due to an existing bug, you can not combine Path-based ALLOW rules with any DENY rules in a single policy. Instead, either separate DENY rules into a separate Base policy or move the Path-based ALLOW rules into a supplemental policy as described in [Deploy multiple WDAC policies.](deploy-multiple-windows-defender-application-control-policies.md)
## Windows Defender Application Control filename rules
File name rule levels provide administrators to specify the file attributes off which to base a file name rule. File name rules do not provide the same security guarantees that explicit signer rules do, as they are based on mutable access permissions. Specification of the file name level occurs when creating new policy rules. In addition, to combine file name levels found in multiple policies, you can merge multiple policies.
Use Table 3 to select the appropriate file name level for your available administrative resources and Windows Defender Application Control deployment scenario.
**Table 3. Windows Defender Application Control policy - filename levels**
| Rule level | Description |
|----------- | ----------- |
| **File Description** | Specifies the file description provided by the developer of the binary. |
| **Internal Name** | Specifies the internal name of the binary. |
| **Original File Name** | Specifies the original file name, or the name with which the file was first created, of the binary. |
| **Package Family Name** | Specifies the package family name of the binary. The package family name consists of two parts: the name of the file and the publisher ID. |
| **Product Name** | Specifies the name of the product with which the binary ships. |
