This policy setting specifies if the DNS client performs primary DNS suffix devolution during the name resolution process. With devolution, a DNS client creates queries by appending a single-label, unqualified domain name with the parent suffix of the primary DNS suffix name, and the parent of that suffix, and so on, stopping if the name is successfully resolved or at a level determined by devolution settings. Devolution can be used when a user or application submits a query for a single-label domain name. @@ -1684,7 +1684,7 @@ ADMX Info: -Available in Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20185.

This policy setting specifies that link local multicast name resolution (LLMNR) is disabled on client computers. LLMNR is a secondary name resolution protocol. With LLMNR, queries are sent using multicast over a local network link on a single subnet from a client computer to another client computer on the same subnet that also has LLMNR enabled. LLMNR does not require a DNS server or DNS client configuration, and provides name resolution in scenarios in which conventional DNS name resolution is not possible. @@ -1712,14 +1712,14 @@ ADMX Info: Footnotes: -- 1 - Available in Windows 10, version 1607. -- 2 - Available in Windows 10, version 1703. -- 3 - Available in Windows 10, version 1709. -- 4 - Available in Windows 10, version 1803. -- 5 - Available in Windows 10, version 1809. -- 6 - Available in Windows 10, version 1903. -- 7 - Available in Windows 10, version 1909. -- 8 - Available in Windows 10, version 2004. - +- 1 - Available in Windows 10, version 1607 +- 2 - Available in Windows 10, version 1703 +- 3 - Available in Windows 10, version 1709 +- 4 - Available in Windows 10, version 1803 +- 5 - Available in Windows 10, version 1809 +- 6 - Available in Windows 10, version 1903 +- 7 - Available in Windows 10, version 1909 +- 8 - Available in Windows 10, version 2004 +- 9 - Available in Windows 10, version 20H2 diff --git a/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-admx-dwm.md b/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-admx-dwm.md index ff5b9de5cc..71f9b3638f 100644 --- a/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-admx-dwm.md +++ b/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-admx-dwm.md @@ -89,7 +89,7 @@ manager: dansimp -Available in Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20185.

If the RSTP/UDP check box is selected, a user can specify UDP ports in the Use ports check box. If the user does not specify UDP ports, the Player uses default ports when using the UDP protocol. This policy setting also specifies that multicast streams can be received if the "Allow the Player to receive multicast streams" check box on the Network tab is selected. @@ -1601,14 +1601,15 @@ ADMX Info: Footnotes: -- 1 - Available in Windows 10, version 1607. -- 2 - Available in Windows 10, version 1703. -- 3 - Available in Windows 10, version 1709. -- 4 - Available in Windows 10, version 1803. -- 5 - Available in Windows 10, version 1809. -- 6 - Available in Windows 10, version 1903. -- 7 - Available in Windows 10, version 1909. -- 8 - Available in Windows 10, version 2004. +- 1 - Available in Windows 10, version 1607 +- 2 - Available in Windows 10, version 1703 +- 3 - Available in Windows 10, version 1709 +- 4 - Available in Windows 10, version 1803 +- 5 - Available in Windows 10, version 1809 +- 6 - Available in Windows 10, version 1903 +- 7 - Available in Windows 10, version 1909 +- 8 - Available in Windows 10, version 2004 +- 9 - Available in Windows 10, version 20H2 diff --git a/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-admx-windowsremotemanagement.md b/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-admx-windowsremotemanagement.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..dc7bcf1f15 --- /dev/null +++ b/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-admx-windowsremotemanagement.md @@ -0,0 +1,185 @@ +--- +title: Policy CSP - ADMX_WindowsRemoteManagement +description: Policy CSP - ADMX_WindowsRemoteManagement +ms.author: dansimp +ms.localizationpriority: medium +ms.topic: article +ms.prod: w10 +ms.technology: windows +author: manikadhiman +ms.date: 12/16/2020 +ms.reviewer: +manager: dansimp +--- + +# Policy CSP - ADMX_WindowsRemoteManagement +> [!WARNING] +> Some information relates to prereleased products, which may be substantially modified before it's commercially released.

- **Continuance of operations (COO).** In this scenario, selected employees receive a USB drive with a Windows To Go workspace, which includes all of the applications that the employees use at work. The employees can keep the device at home, in a briefcase, or wherever they want to store it until needed. When the users boot their home computer from the USB drive, it will create a corporate desktop experience so that they can quickly start working. On the very first boot, the employee sees that Windows is installing devices; after that one time, the Windows To Go drive boots like a normal computer. If they have enterprise network access, employees can use a virtual private network (VPN) connection or DirectAccess to access corporate resources. If the enterprise network is available, the Windows To Go workspace will automatically be updated using your standard client management processes.
-- **Contractors and temporary workers.** In this situation, an enterprise IT pro or manager would distribute the Windows To Go drive directly to the worker where they can be assisted with any necessary additional user education needs or address any possible compatibility issues. While the worker is on assignment, they can boot their computer exclusively from the Windows To Go drive and run all applications in that environment until the end of the assignment when the device is returned. No installation of software is required on the worker’s personal computer.

- **Managed free seating.** The employee is issued a Windows To Go drive that is then used with the host computer assigned to that employee for a given session (this could be a vehicle, workspace, or standalone laptop). When the employee leaves the session, the next time they return they use the same USB flash drive but use a different host computer.
-- **Work from home.** In this situation, the Windows To Go drive can be provisioned for employees using various methods including Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager or other deployment tools and then distributed to employees. The employee is instructed to boot the Windows To Go drive initially at work, which caches the employee’s credentials on the Windows To Go workspace and allows the initial data synchronization between the enterprise network and the Windows To Go workspace. The user can then bring the Windows To Go drive home where it can be used with their home computer, with or without enterprise network connectivity.

## User account and data management
-People use computers to work with data and consume content - that is their core function. The data must be stored and retrievable for it to be useful. When users are working in a Windows To Go workspace, they need to have the ability to get to the data that they work with and to keep it accessible when the workspace is not being used. For this reason we recommend that you use folder redirection and offline files to redirect the path of local folders (such as the Documents folder) to a network location, while caching the contents locally for increased speed and availability. We also recommend that you use roaming user profiles to synchronize user specific settings so that users receive the same operating system and application settings when using their Windows To Go workspace and their desktop computer. When a user signs in using a domain account that is set up with a file share as the profile path, the user’s profile is downloaded to the local computer and merged with the local profile (if present). When the user logs off the computer, the local copy of their profile, including any changes, is merged with the server copy of the profile.

When users are working in a Windows To Go workspace, they need to have the ability to get to the data that they work with and to keep it accessible when the workspace is not being used. For this reason we recommend that you use folder redirection and offline files to redirect the path of local folders (such as the Documents folder) to a network location, while caching the contents locally for increased speed and availability. We also recommend that you use roaming user profiles to synchronize user specific settings so that users receive the same operating system and application settings when using their Windows To Go workspace and their desktop computer. When a user signs in using a domain account that is set up with a file share as the profile path, the user's profile is downloaded to the local computer and merged with the local profile (if present). When the user logs off the computer, the local copy of their profile, including any changes, is merged with the server copy of the profile. For more information, see [Folder Redirection, Offline Files, and Roaming User Profiles overview](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618924).
Windows To Go is fully integrated with your Microsoft account. Setting synchronization is accomplished by connecting a Microsoft account to a user account. Windows To Go devices fully support this feature and can be managed by Group Policy so that the customization and configurations you prefer will be applied to your Windows To Go workspace.

Quality updates include security updates, critical updates, servicing stack updates, and driver updates. They are typically released on the second Tuesday of each month, though they can be released at any time. The second-Tuesday releases are the ones that focus on security updates. Quality updates are *cumulative*, so installing the latest quality update is sufficient to get all the available fixes for a specific Windows 10 feature update, including any out-of-band security fixes and any *servicing stack updates* that might have been released previously. - **Servicing stack updates:** The "servicing stack" is the code component that actually installs Windows updates. From time to time, the servicing stack itself needs to be updated in order to function smoothly. If you don't install the latest servicing stack update, there's a risk that your device can't be updated with the latest Microsoft security fixes. Servicing stack updates are not necessarily included in *every* monthly quality update, and occasionally are released out of band to address a late-breaking issue. Always install the latest available quality update to catch any servicing stack updates that might have been released. The servicing stack also contains the "component-based servicing stack" (CBS), which is a key underlying component for several elements of Windows deployment, such as DISM, SFC, changing Windows features or roles, and repairing components. The CBS is a small component that typically does not have updates released every month. You can find a list of servicing stack updates at [Latest servicing stack updates](https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/security-guidance/advisory/ADV990001).

The first step of controlling when and how devices install updates is assigning them to the appropriate servicing channel. You can assign devices to a particular channel with any of several tools, including Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), and Group Policy settings applied by any of several means. By dividing devices into different populations ("deployment groups" or "rings") you can use servicing channel assignment, followed by other management features such as update deferral policies, to create a phased deployment of any update that allows you to start with a limited pilot deployment for testing before moving to a broad deployment throughout your organization. @@ -54,7 +54,7 @@ In the Semi-annual Channel, feature updates are available as soon as Microsoft r ### Windows Insider Program for Business -Insider preview releases are made available during the development of the features that will be shipped in the next feature update, enabling organizations to validate new features as well as compatibility with existing apps and infrastructure, providing feedback to Microsoft on any issues encountered.

A number of key device attributes, like what operating system edition is installed on the device, are included in the Census payload. However, to save network load and system resources, data that tends to be more static (like edition) is sent approximately once per week rather than on every daily run. Because of this behavior, these attributes can take longer to appear in Update Compliance unless you start a full Census sync. The Update Compliance Configuration Script will do a full sync. A full Census sync adds a new registry value to Census's path. When this registry value is added, Census's configuration is overridden to force a full sync. For Census to work normally, this registry value should be enabled, Census should be started manually, and then the registry value should be disabled.

Each iteration contains a smaller subset of changes so that they won’t seem like substantial differences, like they do today. This image illustrates the level of effort needed for traditional Windows deployments versus servicing Windows 10 and how it is now spread evenly over time versus spiking every few years.  Windows 10 spreads the traditional deployment effort of a Windows upgrade, which typically occurred every few years, over smaller, continuous updates. With this change, you must approach the ongoing deployment and servicing of Windows differently. A strong Windows 10 deployment strategy begins with establishing a simple, repeatable process for testing and deploying each feature update. Here’s an example of what this process might look like: -- **Configure test devices.** Configure test devices in the Windows Insider Program so that Insiders can test feature updates before they’re available to the Semi-Annual Channel. Typically, this would be a small number of test devices that IT staff members use to evaluate pre-release builds of Windows. Microsoft provides current development builds to Windows Insider members approximately every week so that interested users can see the functionality Microsoft is adding.

Microsoft provides current development builds to Windows Insider members approximately every week so that interested users can see the functionality Microsoft is adding. See the section Windows Insider for details on how to enroll in the Windows Insider Program on a Windows 10 device. - **Identify excluded devices.** For some organizations, special-purpose devices such as those used to control factory or medical equipment or run ATMs require a stricter, less frequent feature update cycle than the Semi-Annual Channel can offer. For those machines, you must install Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB to avoid feature updates for up to 10 years. Identify these devices, and separate them from the phased deployment and servicing cycles to help remove confusion for your administrators and ensure that devices are handled correctly. - **Recruit volunteers.** The purpose of testing a deployment is to receive feedback. One effective way to recruit pilot users is to request volunteers. When doing so, clearly state that you’re looking for feedback rather than people to just “try it out” and that there could be occasional issues involved with accepting feature updates right away. With Windows as a service, the expectation is that there should be few issues, but if an issue does arise, you want testers to let you know as soon as possible. When considering whom to recruit for pilot groups, be sure to include members who provide the broadest set of applications and devices to validate the largest number of apps and devices possible. -- **Update Group Policy.** Each feature update includes new group policies to manage new features. If you use Group Policy to manage devices, the Group Policy Admin for the Active Directory domain will need to download a .admx package and copy it to their [Central Store](https://support.microsoft.com/help/929841/how-to-create-the-central-store-for-group-policy-administrative-templa) (or to the [PolicyDefinitions](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/bb530196.aspx) directory in the SYSVOL folder of a domain controller if not using a Central Store).

The list of applications involved in this validation process should be small because most applications can be tested during the pilot phase. For more information about device and application compatibility in Windows 10, see the section Compatibility. -2. **Target and react to feedback.** With Windows 10, Microsoft expects application and device compatibility to be high, but it’s still important to have targeted groups within both the IT department and business units to verify application compatibility for the remaining applications in your application portfolio. Because only the most business-critical applications are tested beforehand, this will represent the majority of application compatibility testing in your environment. This should not necessarily be a formal process but rather user validation through the use of a particular application. So, the next step is to deploy the feature update to early-adopting IT users and your targeted groups running in the Semi-Annual channel that you identified in the “Recruit volunteers” step of the Predeployment strategy section.

The Enhanced level also includes limited crash reports, which are not described below. For more information on the Enhanced level, see [Configure Windows diagnostic data in your organization](configure-windows-diagnostic-data-in-your-organization.md).
With the retirement of Windows Analytics, this policy will continue to be supported by Desktop Analytics, but will not include Office related diagnostic data.

+### Read-Only Domain Controllers
+
+This group is comprised of the Read-only domain controllers in the domain. A Read-only domain controller makes it possible for organizations to easily deploy a domain controller in scenarios where physical security cannot be guaranteed, such as branch office locations, or in scenarios where local storage of all domain passwords is considered a primary threat, such as in an extranet or in an application-facing role.
+
+Because administration of a Read-only domain controller can be delegated to a domain user or security group, an Read-only domain controller is well suited for a site that should not have a user who is a member of the Domain Admins group. A Read-only domain controller encompasses the following functionality:
+
+- Read-only AD DS database
+
+- Unidirectional replication
+
+- Credential caching
+
+- Administrator role separation
+
+- Read-only Domain Name System (DNS)
+
+For information about deploying a Read-only domain controller, see [Understanding Planning and Deployment for Read-Only Domain Controllers](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc754719(v=ws.10).aspx).
+
+This security group was introduced in Windows Server 2008, and it has not changed in subsequent versions.

### Server Operators
-Members in the Server Operators group can administer domain servers. This group exists only on domain controllers. By default, the group has no members. Members of the Server Operators group can sign in to a server interactively, create and delete network shared resources, start and stop services, back up and restore files, format the hard disk drive of the computer, and shut down the computer. This group cannot be renamed, deleted, or moved.

-By default, this built-in group has no members, and it has access to server configuration options on domain controllers. Its membership is controlled by the service administrator groups, Administrators and Domain Admins, in the domain, and the Enterprise Admins group. Members in this group cannot change any administrative group memberships. This is considered a service administrator account because its members have physical access to domain controllers, they can perform maintenance tasks (such as backup and restore), and they have the ability to change binaries that are installed on the domain controllers. Note the default user rights in the following table.

### Saved Windows Credentials Protected
Starting with Windows 10, version 1511, domain credentials that are stored with Credential Manager are protected with Windows Defender Credential Guard. Credential Manager allows you to store three types of credentials: Windows credentials, certificate-based credentials, and generic credentials. Generic credentials such as user names and passwords that you use to log on to websites are not protected since the applications require your cleartext password. If the application does not need a copy of the password, they can save domain credentials as Windows credentials that are protected. Windows credentials are used to connect to other computers on a network. The following considerations apply to the Windows Defender Credential Guard protections for Credential Manager:
- - Windows credentials saved by Remote Desktop Client cannot be sent to a remote host. Attempts to use saved Windows credentials fail, displaying the error message "Logon attempt failed."
- - Applications that extract Windows credentials fail.
- - When credentials are backed up from a PC that has Windows Defender Credential Guard enabled, the Windows credentials cannot be restored. If you need to back up your credentials, you must do this before you enable Windows Defender Credential Guard. Otherwise, you cannot restore those credentials.

## Clearing TPM Considerations
Virtualization-based Security (VBS) uses the TPM to protect its key. So when the TPM is cleared then the TPM protected key used to encrypt VBS secrets is lost.

- We recommend enabling Windows Defender Credential Guard before a device is joined to a domain. If Windows Defender Credential Guard is enabled after domain join, the user and device secrets may already be compromised. In other words, enabling Credential Guard will not help to secure a device or identity that has already been compromised, which is why we recommend turning on Credential Guard as early as possible.

Microsoft will be deprecating virtual smart cards in the future, but no date is set at this time. Customers using Windows 10 and virtual smart cards should move to Windows Hello for Business. Microsoft will publish the date early to ensure customers have adequate lead time to move to Windows Hello for Business. Microsoft recommends new Windows 10 deployments to use Windows Hello for Business. Virtual smart card remain supported for Windows 7 and Windows 8. - -## What about convenience PIN? -Microsoft is committed to its vision of a world without passwords. We recognize the *convenience* provided by convenience PIN, but it stills uses a password for authentication. Microsoft recommends customers using Windows 10 and convenience PINs should move to Windows Hello for Business. New Windows 10 deployments should deploy Windows Hello for Business and not convenience PINs. Microsoft will be deprecating convenience PINs in the future and will publish the date early to ensure customers have adequate lead time to deploy Windows Hello for Business. - -## Can I use Windows Hello for Business key trust and RDP? -RDP currently does not support using key based authentication and self signed certificates as supplied credentials. RDP with supplied credentials Windows Hello for Business is currently only supported with certificate based deployments. Windows Hello for Business key trust can be used with [Windows Defender Remote Credential Guard](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/identity-protection/remote-credential-guard). - -## Can I deploy Windows Hello for Business using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager? -Windows Hello for Business deployments using Configuration Manager should use the hybrid deployment model that uses Active Directory Federation Services. Starting in Configuration Manager version 1910, certificate-based authentication with Windows Hello for Business settings isn't supported. Key-based authentication is still valid with Configuration Manager. For more information, see [Windows Hello for Business settings in Configuration Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/configmgr/protect/deploy-use/windows-hello-for-business-settings). - -## How many users can enroll for Windows Hello for Business on a single Windows 10 computer? -The maximum number of supported enrollments on a single Windows 10 computer is 10. That enables 10 users to each enroll their face and up to 10 fingerprints. While we support 10 enrollments, we will strongly encourage the use of Windows Hello security keys for the shared computer scenario when they become available. - -## How can a PIN be more secure than a password? -When using Windows Hello for Business, the PIN is not a symmetric key where is the password is a symmetric key. With passwords, there is a server that has some representation of the password. With Windows Hello for Business, the PIN is user provided entropy used to load the private key in the TPM. The server does not have a copy of the PIN. For that matter, the Windows client does not have a copy of the current PIN either. The user must provide the entropy, the TPM protected key, and the TPM that generated that key to successfully have access to the private key. - -The statement "PIN is stronger than Password" is not directed at the strength of the entropy used by the PIN. It is about the difference of providing entropy vs continuing the use of a symmetric key (the password). The TPM has anti-hammering features which thwart brute-force PIN attacks (an attackers continuous attempt to try all combination of PINs). Some organizations may worry about shoulder surfing. For those organizations, rather than increased the complexity of the PIN, implement the [Multifactor Unlock](feature-multifactor-unlock.md) feature. - -## Why is the Key Admins group missing, I have Windows Server 2016 domain controller(s)? -The **Key Admins** and **Enterprise Key Admins** groups are created when you install the first Windows Server 2016 domain controller into a domain. Domain controllers running previous versions of Windows Server cannot translate the security identifier (SID) to a name. To resolve this, transfer the PDC emulator domain role to a domain controller running Windows Server 2016. - -## Can I use a convenience PIN with Azure AD? -It is currently possible to set a convenience PIN on Azure Active Directory Joined or Hybrid Active Directory Joined devices. Convenience PIN is not supported for Azure Active Directory user accounts. It is only supported for on-premises Domain Joined users and local account users. - -## Can I use an external camera when my laptop is closed or docked? -No. Windows 10 currently only supports one Windows Hello for Business camera and does not fluidly switch to an external camera when the computer is docked with the lid closed. The product group is aware of this and is investigating this topic further. - -## Why does authentication fail immediately after provisioning Hybrid Key Trust? -In a hybrid deployment, a user's public key must sync from Azure AD to AD before it can be used to authenticate against a domain controller. This sync is handled by Azure AD Connect and will occur during a normal sync cycle. - -## What is the password-less strategy? -Watch Principal Program Manager Karanbir Singh's Ignite 2017 presentation **Microsoft's guide for going password-less**. - -[Microsoft's password-less strategy](hello-videos.md#microsofts-passwordless-strategy) - -## What is the user experience for Windows Hello for Business? -The user experience for Windows Hello for Business occurs after user sign-in, after you deploy Windows Hello for Business policy settings to your environment. - -[Windows Hello for Business user enrollment experience](hello-videos.md#windows-hello-for-business-user-enrollment-experience) - -## What happens when my user forgets their PIN? -If the user can sign-in with a password, they can reset their PIN by clicking the "I forgot my PIN" link in settings. Beginning with Windows 10 1709, users can reset their PIN above the lock screen by clicking the "I forgot my PIN" link on the PIN credential provider. - -[Windows Hello for Business forgotten PIN user experience](hello-videos.md#windows-hello-for-business-forgotten-pin-user-experience) - -For on-premises deployments, devices must be well-connected to their on-premises network (domain controllers and/or certificate authority) to reset their PINs. Hybrid customers can on-board their Azure tenant to use the Windows Hello for Business PIN reset service to reset their PINs without access to their corporate network. - -## What URLs do I need to allow for a hybrid deployment? -Communicating with Azure Active Directory uses the following URLs: -- enterpriseregistration.windows.net -- login.microsoftonline.com -- login.windows.net -- account.live.com - -If your environment uses Microsoft Intune, you need these additional URLs: -- enrollment.manage.microsoft.com -- portal.manage.microsoft.com - -## What is the difference between non-destructive and destructive PIN reset? -Windows Hello for Business has two types of PIN reset: non-destructive and destructive. Organizations running Windows 10 Enterprise and Azure Active Directory can take advantage of the Microsoft PIN Reset service. Once on-boarded to a tenant and deployed to computers, users who have forgotten their PINs can authenticate to Azure, provided a second factor of authentication, and reset their PIN without re-provisioning a new Windows Hello for Business enrollment. This is a non-destructive PIN reset because the user does not delete the current credential and obtain a new one. Read [PIN Reset](hello-feature-pin-reset.md) page for more information. - -Organizations that have the on-premises deployment of Windows Hello for Business, or those not using Windows 10 Enterprise can use destructive PIN reset. with destructive PIN reset, users that have forgotten their PIN can authenticate using their password, perform a second factor of authentication to re-provision their Windows Hello for Business credential. Re-provisioning deletes the old credential and requests a new credential and certificate. On-premises deployments need network connectivity to their domain controllers, Active Directory Federation Services, and their issuing certificate authority to perform a destructive PIN reset. Also, for hybrid deployments, destructive PIN reset is only supported with the certificate trust model and the latest updates to Active Directory Federation Services. - -## Which is better or more secure: Key trust or Certificate trust? -The trust models of your deployment determine how you authenticate to Active Directory (on-premises). Both key trust and certificate trust use the same hardware-backed, two-factor credential. The difference between the two trust types are: -- Required domain controllers -- Issuing end entity certificates - -The **key trust** model authenticates to Active Directory using a raw key. Windows Server 2016 domain controllers enables this authentication. Key trust authenticate does not require an enterprise issued certificate, therefore you do not need to issue certificates to your end users (domain controller certificates are still needed). - -The **certificate trust** model authenticates to Active Directory using a certificate. Because this authentication uses a certificate, domain controllers running previous versions of Windows Server can authenticate the user. Therefore, you need to issue certificates to your end users, but you do not need Windows Server 2016 domain controllers. The certificate used in certificate trust uses the TPM protected private key to request a certificate from your enterprise's issuing certificate authority. - -## Do I need Windows Server 2016 domain controllers? -There are many deployment options from which to choose. Some of those options require an adequate number of Windows Server 2016 domain controllers in the site where you have deployed Windows Hello for Business. There are other deployment options that use existing Windows Server 2008 R2 or later domain controllers. Choose the deployment option that best suits your environment. - -## What attributes are synchronized by Azure AD Connect with Windows Hello for Business? -Review [Azure AD Connect sync: Attributes synchronized to Azure Active Directory](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized) for a list of attributes that are sync based on scenarios. The base scenarios that include Windows Hello for Business are [Windows 10](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized#windows-10) scenario and the [Device writeback](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized#device-writeback) scenario. Your environment may include additional attributes. - -## Is Windows Hello for Business multifactor authentication? -Windows Hello for Business is two-factor authentication based on the observed authentication factors of: something you have, something you know, and something part of you. Windows Hello for Business incorporates two of these factors: something you have (the user's private key protected by the device's security module) and something you know (your PIN). With the proper hardware, you can enhance the user experience by introducing biometrics. Using biometrics, you can replace the "something you know" authentication factor with the "something that is part of you" factor, with the assurances that users can fall back to the "something you know factor". - -## What are the biometric requirements for Windows Hello for Business? -Read [Windows Hello biometric requirements](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/windows-hello-biometric-requirements) for more information. - -## Can I use both a PIN and biometrics to unlock my device? -Starting in Windows 10, version 1709, you can use multi-factor unlock to require the user to provide an additional factor to unlock the device. Authentication remains two-factor, but another factor is required before Windows allows the user to reach the desktop. Read more about [multifactor unlock](feature-multifactor-unlock.md). - -## What is the difference between Windows Hello and Windows Hello for Business? -Windows Hello represents the biometric framework provided in Windows 10. Windows Hello enables users to use biometrics to sign into their devices by securely storing their user name and password and releasing it for authentication when the user successfully identifies themselves using biometrics. Windows Hello for Business uses asymmetric keys protected by the device's security module that requires a user gesture (PIN or biometrics) to authenticate. - -## Why can't I enroll biometrics for my local built-in Administrator? -Windows 10 does not allow the local administrator to enroll biometric gestures (face or fingerprint). - -## I have extended Active Directory to Azure Active Directory. Can I use the on-premises deployment model? -No. If your organization is federated or using on-line services, such as Azure AD Connect, Office 365, or OneDrive, then you must use a hybrid deployment model. On-premises deployments are exclusive to organization who need more time before moving to the cloud and exclusively use Active Directory. - -## Does Windows Hello for Business prevent the use of simple PINs? -Yes. Our simple PIN algorithm looks for and disallows any PIN that has a constant delta from one digit to the next. The algorithm counts the number of steps required to reach the next digit, overflowing at ten ('zero'). -So, for example: -* The PIN 1111 has a constant delta of (0,0,0), so it is not allowed -* The PIN 1234 has a constant delta of (1,1,1), so it is not allowed -* The PIN 1357 has a constant delta of (2,2,2), so it is not allowed -* The PIN 9630 has a constant delta of (7,7,7), so it is not allowed -* The PIN 1593 has a constant delta of (4,4,4), so it is not allowed -* The PIN 7036 has a constant delta of (3,3,3), so it is not allowed -* The PIN 1231 does not have a constant delta (1,1,8), so it is allowed -* The PIN 1872 does not have a constant delta (7,9,5), so it is allowed - -This prevents repeating numbers, sequential numbers, and simple patterns. -It always results in a list of 100 disallowed PINs (independent of the PIN length). -This algorithm does not apply to alphanumeric PINs. - -## How does PIN caching work with Windows Hello for Business? - -Windows Hello for Business provides a PIN caching user experience using a ticketing system. Rather than caching a PIN, processes cache a ticket they can use to request private key operations. Azure AD and Active Directory sign-in keys are cached under lock. This means the keys remain available for use without prompting as long as the user is interactively signed-in. Microsoft Account sign-in keys are considered transactional keys, which means the user is always prompted when accessing the key. - -Beginning with Windows 10, version 1709, Windows Hello for Business used as a smart card (smart card emulation that is enabled by default) provides the same user experience of default smart card PIN caching. Each process requesting a private key operation will prompt the user for the PIN on first use. Subsequent private key operations will not prompt the user for the PIN. - -The smart card emulation feature of Windows Hello for Business verifies the PIN and then discards the PIN in exchange for a ticket. The process does not receive the PIN, but rather the ticket that grants them private key operations. Windows 10 does not provide any Group Policy settings to adjust this caching. - -## Can I disable the PIN while using Windows Hello for Business? -No. The movement away from passwords is accomplished by gradually reducing the use of the password. In the occurrence where you cannot authenticate with biometrics, you need a fall back mechanism that is not a password. The PIN is the fall back mechanism. Disabling or hiding the PIN credential provider disabled the use of biometrics. - -## How are keys protected? -Wherever possible, Windows Hello for Business takes advantage of trusted platform module (TPM) 2.0 hardware to generate and protect keys. However, Windows Hello and Windows Hello for Business does not require a TPM. Administrators can choose to allow key operations in software. - -Whenever possible, Microsoft strongly recommends the use of TPM hardware. The TPM protects against a variety of known and potential attacks, including PIN brute-force attacks. The TPM provides an additional layer of protection after an account lockout, too. When the TPM has locked the key material, the user will have to reset the PIN (which means he or she will have to use MFA to re-authenticate to the IDP before the IDP allows him or her to re-register). - -## Can Windows Hello for Business work in air-gapped environments? -Yes. You can use the on-premises Windows Hello for Business deployment and combine it with a third-party MFA provider that does not require Internet connectivity to achieve an air-gapped Windows Hello for Business deployment. - -## Can I use third-party authentication providers with Windows Hello for Business? -Yes, if you are federated hybrid deployment, you can use any third-party that provides an Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) multi-factor authentication adapter.

Microsoft will be deprecating virtual smart cards in the future, but no date is set at this time. Customers using Windows 10 and virtual smart cards should move to Windows Hello for Business. Microsoft will publish the date early to ensure customers have adequate lead time to move to Windows Hello for Business. Microsoft recommends that new Windows 10 deployments use Windows Hello for Business. Virtual smart card remain supported for Windows 7 and Windows 8. + + - question: What about convenience PIN? + answer: | + Microsoft is committed to its vision of a world without passwords. We recognize the *convenience* provided by convenience PIN, but it stills uses a password for authentication. Microsoft recommends that customers using Windows 10 and convenience PINs should move to Windows Hello for Business. New Windows 10 deployments should deploy Windows Hello for Business and not convenience PINs. Microsoft will be deprecating convenience PINs in the future and will publish the date early to ensure customers have adequate lead time to deploy Windows Hello for Business. + + - question: Can I use Windows Hello for Business key trust and RDP? + answer: | + Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) does not currently support using key-based authentication and self-signed certificates as supplied credentials. RDP with supplied credentials is currently only supported with certificate-based deployments. Windows Hello for Business key trust can be used with [Windows Defender Remote Credential Guard](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/identity-protection/remote-credential-guard). + + - question: Can I deploy Windows Hello for Business by using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager? + answer: | + Windows Hello for Business deployments using Configuration Manager should follow the hybrid deployment model that uses Active Directory Federation Services. Starting in Configuration Manager version 1910, certificate-based authentication with Windows Hello for Business settings isn't supported. Key-based authentication is still valid with Configuration Manager. For more information, see [Windows Hello for Business settings in Configuration Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/configmgr/protect/deploy-use/windows-hello-for-business-settings). + + - question: How many users can enroll for Windows Hello for Business on a single Windows 10 computer? + answer: | + The maximum number of supported enrollments on a single Windows 10 computer is 10. This lets 10 users each enroll their face and up to 10 fingerprints. While we support 10 enrollments, we will strongly encourage the use of Windows Hello security keys for the shared computer scenario when they become available. + + - question: How can a PIN be more secure than a password? + answer: | + When using Windows Hello for Business, the PIN is not a symmetric key, whereas the password is a symmetric key. With passwords, there's a server that has some representation of the password. With Windows Hello for Business, the PIN is user-provided entropy used to load the private key in the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). The server does not have a copy of the PIN. For that matter, the Windows client does not have a copy of the current PIN either. The user must provide the entropy, the TPM-protected key, and the TPM that generated that key in order to successfully access the private key. + + The statement "PIN is stronger than Password" is not directed at the strength of the entropy used by the PIN. It's about the difference between providing entropy versus continuing the use of a symmetric key (the password). The TPM has anti-hammering features that thwart brute-force PIN attacks (an attacker's continuous attempt to try all combination of PINs). Some organizations may worry about shoulder surfing. For those organizations, rather than increase the complexity of the PIN, implement the [Multifactor Unlock](feature-multifactor-unlock.md) feature. + + - question: How does Windows Hello for Business work with Azure AD registered devices? + answer: | + On Azure AD registered devices, a user will be asked to provision a Windows Hello for Business key if the feature is enabled by mobile device management policy. If the user has an existing Windows Hello container for use with their local or Microsoft connected account, the Windows Hello for Business key will be enrolled in their existing container and will be protected using their exiting gestures. + + If a user has signed into their Azure AD registered device with Windows Hello, their Windows Hello for Business key will be used to authenticate the user's work identity when they try to use Azure AD resources. The Windows Hello for Business key meets Azure AD multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirements and reduces the number of MFA prompts users will see when accessing resources. + + It is possible to Azure AD register a domain joined device. If the domain joined device has a convenience PIN, login with the convenience PIN will no longer work. This configuration is not supported by Windows Hello for Business. + + For more information please read [Azure AD registered devices](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-register). + + - question: I have Windows Server 2016 domain controller(s), so why is the Key Admins group missing? + answer: | + The **Key Admins** and **Enterprise Key Admins** groups are created when you install the first Windows Server 2016 domain controller into a domain. Domain controllers running previous versions of Windows Server cannot translate the security identifier (SID) to a name. To resolve this, transfer the PDC emulator domain role to a domain controller running Windows Server 2016. + + - question: Can I use a convenience PIN with Azure Active Directory? + answer: | + It's currently possible to set a convenience PIN on Azure Active Directory Joined or Hybrid Active Directory Joined devices. Convenience PIN is not supported for Azure Active Directory user accounts (synchronized identities included). It's only supported for on-premises Domain Joined users and local account users. + + - question: Can I use an external camera when my laptop is closed or docked? + answer: | + No. Windows 10 currently only supports one Windows Hello for Business camera and does not fluidly switch to an external camera when the computer is docked with the lid closed. The product group is aware of this and is investigating this topic further. + + - question: Why does authentication fail immediately after provisioning hybrid key trust? + answer: | + In a hybrid deployment, a user's public key must sync from Azure AD to AD before it can be used to authenticate against a domain controller. This sync is handled by Azure AD Connect and will occur during a normal sync cycle. + + - question: What is the password-less strategy? + answer: | + Watch Principal Program Manager Karanbir Singh's **Microsoft's guide for going password-less** Ignite 2017 presentation. + + [Microsoft's password-less strategy](hello-videos.md#microsofts-passwordless-strategy) + + - question: What is the user experience for Windows Hello for Business? + answer: | + The user experience for Windows Hello for Business occurs after user sign-in, after you deploy Windows Hello for Business policy settings to your environment. + + [Windows Hello for Business user enrollment experience](hello-videos.md#windows-hello-for-business-user-enrollment-experience) + + - question: What happens when a user forgets their PIN? + answer: | + If the user can sign-in with a password, they can reset their PIN by selecting the "I forgot my PIN" link in Settings. Beginning with Windows 10 1709, users can reset their PIN above the lock screen by selecting the "I forgot my PIN" link on the PIN credential provider. + + [Windows Hello for Business forgotten PIN user experience](hello-videos.md#windows-hello-for-business-forgotten-pin-user-experience) + + For on-premises deployments, devices must be well-connected to their on-premises network (domain controllers and/or certificate authority) to reset their PINs. Hybrid customers can on-board their Azure tenant to use the Windows Hello for Business PIN reset service to reset their PINs without access to their corporate network. + + - question: What URLs do I need to allow for a hybrid deployment? + answer: | + Communicating with Azure Active Directory uses the following URLs: + - enterpriseregistration.windows.net + - login.microsoftonline.com + - login.windows.net + - account.live.com + - accountalt.azureedge.net + - secure.aadcdn.microsoftonline-p.com + + If your environment uses Microsoft Intune, you need these additional URLs: + - enrollment.manage.microsoft.com + - portal.manage.microsoft.com + + - question: What's the difference between non-destructive and destructive PIN reset? + answer: | + Windows Hello for Business has two types of PIN reset: non-destructive and destructive. Organizations running Windows 10 Enterprise and Azure Active Directory can take advantage of the Microsoft PIN Reset service. Once onboarded to a tenant and deployed to computers, users who have forgotten their PINs can authenticate to Azure, provide a second factor of authentication, and reset their PIN without re-provisioning a new Windows Hello for Business enrollment. This is a non-destructive PIN reset because the user doesn't delete the current credential and obtain a new one. For more information, see [PIN Reset](hello-feature-pin-reset.md). + + Organizations that have the on-premises deployment of Windows Hello for Business, or those not using Windows 10 Enterprise can use destructive PIN reset. With destructive PIN reset, users that have forgotten their PIN can authenticate by using their password and then performing a second factor of authentication to re-provision their Windows Hello for Business credential. Re-provisioning deletes the old credential and requests a new credential and certificate. On-premises deployments need network connectivity to their domain controllers, Active Directory Federation Services, and their issuing certificate authority to perform a destructive PIN reset. Also, for hybrid deployments, destructive PIN reset is only supported with the certificate trust model and the latest updates to Active Directory Federation Services. + + - question: | + Which is better or more secure: key trust or certificate trust? + answer: | + The trust models of your deployment determine how you authenticate to Active Directory (on-premises). Both key trust and certificate trust use the same hardware-backed, two-factor credential. The difference between the two trust types are: + - Required domain controllers + - Issuing end entity certificates + + The **key trust** model authenticates to Active Directory by using a raw key. Windows Server 2016 domain controllers enable this authentication. Key trust authenticate does not require an enterprise issued certificate, therefore you don't need to issue certificates to users (domain controller certificates are still needed). + + The **certificate trust** model authenticates to Active Directory by using a certificate. Because this authentication uses a certificate, domain controllers running previous versions of Windows Server can authenticate the user. Therefore, you need to issue certificates to users, but you don't need Windows Server 2016 domain controllers. The certificate used in certificate trust uses the TPM-protected private key to request a certificate from your enterprise's issuing certificate authority. + + - question: Do I need Windows Server 2016 domain controllers? + answer: | + There are many deployment options from which to choose. Some of those options require an adequate number of Windows Server 2016 domain controllers in the site where you've deployed Windows Hello for Business. There are other deployment options that use existing Windows Server 2008 R2 or later domain controllers. Choose the deployment option that best suits your environment. + + - question: What attributes are synchronized by Azure AD Connect with Windows Hello for Business? + answer: | + Review [Azure AD Connect sync: Attributes synchronized to Azure Active Directory](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized) for a list of attributes that sync based on scenarios. The base scenarios that include Windows Hello for Business are the [Windows 10](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized#windows-10) scenario and the [Device writeback](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized#device-writeback) scenario. Your environment may include additional attributes. + + - question: Is Windows Hello for Business multi-factor authentication? + answer: | + Windows Hello for Business is two-factor authentication based on the observed authentication factors of: something you have, something you know, and something that's part of you. Windows Hello for Business incorporates two of these factors: something you have (the user's private key protected by the device's security module) and something you know (your PIN). With the proper hardware, you can enhance the user experience by introducing biometrics. By using biometrics, you can replace the "something you know" authentication factor with the "something that is part of you" factor, with the assurances that users can fall back to the "something you know factor". + + - question: What are the biometric requirements for Windows Hello for Business? + answer: | + Read [Windows Hello biometric requirements](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/windows-hello-biometric-requirements) for more information. + + - question: Can I use both a PIN and biometrics to unlock my device? + answer: | + Starting in Windows 10, version 1709, you can use multi-factor unlock to require users to provide an additional factor to unlock their device. Authentication remains two-factor, but another factor is required before Windows allows the user to reach the desktop. To learn more, see [Multifactor Unlock](feature-multifactor-unlock.md). + + - question: Can I wear a mask to enroll or unlock using Windows Hello face authentication? + answer: | + Wearing a mask to enroll is a security concern because other users wearing a similar mask may be able to unlock you device. The product group is aware of this behavior and is investigating this topic further. Please remove a mask if you are wearing one when you enroll or unlock with Windows Hello face authentication. If your working environment doesn’t allow you to remove a mask temporarily, please consider unenrolling from face authentication and only using PIN or fingerprint. + + - question: What's the difference between Windows Hello and Windows Hello for Business? + answer: | + Windows Hello represents the biometric framework provided in Windows 10. Windows Hello lets users use biometrics to sign in to their devices by securely storing their user name and password and releasing it for authentication when the user successfully identifies themselves using biometrics. Windows Hello for Business uses asymmetric keys protected by the device's security module that requires a user gesture (PIN or biometrics) to authenticate. + + - question: Why can't I enroll biometrics for my local, built-in administrator? + answer: | + Windows 10 does not allow the local administrator to enroll biometric gestures (face or fingerprint). + + - question: I have extended Active Directory to Azure Active Directory. Can I use the on-premises deployment model? + answer: | + No. If your organization is federated or using online services, such as Azure AD Connect, Office 365, or OneDrive, then you must use a hybrid deployment model. On-premises deployments are exclusive to organizations who need more time before moving to the cloud and exclusively use Active Directory. + + - question: Does Windows Hello for Business prevent the use of simple PINs? + answer: | + Yes. Our simple PIN algorithm looks for and disallows any PIN that has a constant delta from one digit to the next. The algorithm counts the number of steps required to reach the next digit, overflowing at ten ('zero'). + So, for example: + + - The PIN 1111 has a constant delta of (0,0,0), so it is not allowed + - The PIN 1234 has a constant delta of (1,1,1), so it is not allowed + - The PIN 1357 has a constant delta of (2,2,2), so it is not allowed + - The PIN 9630 has a constant delta of (7,7,7), so it is not allowed + - The PIN 1593 has a constant delta of (4,4,4), so it is not allowed + - The PIN 7036 has a constant delta of (3,3,3), so it is not allowed + - The PIN 1231 does not have a constant delta (1,1,8), so it is allowed + - The PIN 1872 does not have a constant delta (7,9,5), so it is allowed + + This prevents repeating numbers, sequential numbers, and simple patterns. It always results in a list of 100 disallowed PINs (independent of the PIN length). This algorithm does not apply to alphanumeric PINs. + + - question: How does PIN caching work with Windows Hello for Business? + answer: | + Windows Hello for Business provides a PIN caching user experience by using a ticketing system. Rather than caching a PIN, processes cache a ticket they can use to request private key operations. Azure AD and Active Directory sign-in keys are cached under lock. This means the keys remain available for use without prompting, as long as the user is interactively signed-in. Microsoft Account sign-in keys are considered transactional keys, which means the user is always prompted when accessing the key. + + Beginning with Windows 10, version 1709, Windows Hello for Business used as a smart card (smart card emulation that is enabled by default) provides the same user experience of default smart card PIN caching. Each process requesting a private key operation will prompt the user for the PIN on first use. Subsequent private key operations will not prompt the user for the PIN. + + The smart card emulation feature of Windows Hello for Business verifies the PIN and then discards the PIN in exchange for a ticket. The process does not receive the PIN, but rather the ticket that grants them private key operations. Windows 10 does not provide any Group Policy settings to adjust this caching. + + - question: Can I disable the PIN while using Windows Hello for Business? + answer: | + No. The movement away from passwords is accomplished by gradually reducing the use of the password. In situations where you can't authenticate by using biometrics, you need a fallback mechanism that is not a password. The PIN is the fallback mechanism. Disabling or hiding the PIN credential provider will disable the use of biometrics. + + - question: How are keys protected? + answer: | + Wherever possible, Windows Hello for Business takes advantage of Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 hardware to generate and protect keys.

The steps below to update the domain controller certificate to include the **KDC Authentication** OID may be skipped if you only have Hybrid Azure AD Joined devices in your environment, but we recommend completing these steps if you are considering adding Azure AD joined devices to your environment in the future. By default, the Active Directory Certificate Authority provides and publishes the Kerberos Authentication certificate template.
