For devices with managed updates, such as those updated through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), the option to install drivers and firmware through Windows Update is not available. For these managed devices, the recommended driver management process is the deployment of driver and firmware updates using the Windows Installer (.msi) files, which are provided through the Microsoft Download Center. You can find a list of these downloads at [Download the latest firmware and drivers for Surface devices](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/surface/deploy-the-latest-firmware-and-drivers-for-surface-devices). -As .msi files, deployment of driver and firmware updates is performed in the same manner as deployment of an application. Instead of installing an application as would normally happen when an .msi file is run, the Surface driver and firmware .msi will apply the driver and firmware updates to the device. The single .msi file contains the driver and firmware updates required by each component of the Surface device. The updates for firmware are applied the next time the device reboots. You can read more about the .msi installation method for Surface drivers and firmware in [Manage Surface driver and firmware updates](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/surface/manage-surface-pro-3-firmware-updates).

Based on those instructions the CSP orchestrates the work client-side to package the requested diagnostic files into a zip archive and upload that archive to cloud storage.

Resolution:
No action is required on your part. The update installation may take longer and may require more than one restart, but will install successfully after all intermediate installation steps have completed.

Audio not working on monitors or TV connected to a PC via HDMI, USB, or DisplayPort
Upgrade block: Microsoft has identified issues with certain new Intel display drivers. Intel inadvertently released versions of its display driver (versions 24.20.100.6344, 24.20.100.6345) to OEMs that accidentally turned on unsupported features in Windows. 
 
As a result, after updating to Windows 10, version 1809, audio playback from a monitor or television connected to a PC via HDMI, USB-C, or a DisplayPort may not function correctly on devices with these drivers.
Note: This Intel display driver issue is different from the Intel Smart Sound Technology driver (version 09.21.00.3755) audio issue previously documented.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019
  • Server: Windows Server, version 1809; Windows Server 2019 
Next steps: Intel has released updated drivers to OEM device manufacturers. OEMs need to make the updated driver available via Windows Update. For more information, see the Intel Customer Support article.

Resolution: Microsoft has removed the safeguard hold.

Intermittent issues when printing
Applications and printer drivers that leverage the Windows Javascript engine (jscript.dll) for processing print jobs might experience one or more of the following symptoms:
  • Applications interacting with the V4 printer driver might close or error when printing. Issues might only be encountered when printing but might also be encountered at any time the app is running, depending on when the app interacts with the print driver.
  • The printer spooler service (spoolsv.exe) might close or error in jscript.dll with exception code 0xc0000005 causing the print jobs to stop processing. Only part of the print job might print and the rest might be canceled or error.
Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1903; Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10, version 1803; Windows 10, version 1709; Windows 10, version 1703; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016; Windows 10, version 1607; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2015; Windows 8.1; Windows 7 SP1

Applications and printer drivers that leverage the Windows Javascript engine (jscript.dll) for processing print jobs might experience one or more of the following symptoms:
  • Applications interacting with the V4 printer driver might close or error when printing. Issues might only be encountered when printing but might also be encountered at any time the app is running, depending on when the app interacts with the print driver.
  • The printer spooler service (spoolsv.exe) might close or error in jscript.dll with exception code 0xc0000005 causing the print jobs to stop processing. Only part of the print job might print and the rest might be canceled or error.
Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1903; Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10, version 1803; Windows 10, version 1709; Windows 10, version 1703; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016; Windows 10, version 1607; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2015; Windows 8.1; Windows 7 SP1

Certain operations performed on a Cluster Shared Volume may fail
Certain operations, such as rename, that you perform on files or folders that are on a Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) may fail with the error, “STATUS_BAD_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL (0xC00000A5)”. This occurs when you perform the operation on a CSV owner node from a process that doesn’t have administrator privilege. 

Affected platforms: 
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10, version 1803; Windows 10, version 1709; Windows 10, version 1703; Windows 10, version 1607; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016; Windows 10, version 1507; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2015; Windows 8.1
  • Server: Windows Server, version 1809; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server, version 1803; Windows Server, version 1709; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012
Workaround: Do one of the following: 
  • Perform the operation from a process that has administrator privilege. 
  • Perform the operation from a node that doesn’t have CSV ownership. 
Next steps: Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

Unable to create local users in Chinese, Japanese and Korean during device setup
When setting up a new Windows device using the Out of Box Experience (OOBE), you might be unable to create a local user when using Input Method Editor (IME). This issue might affect you if you are using the IME for Chinese, Japanese, or Korean languages.

Note This issue does not affect using a Microsoft Account during OOBE.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1903; Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10, version 1803; Windows 10, version 1709
  • Server: Windows Server, version 1903; Windows Server, version 1809; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server, version 1803; Windows Server, version 1709
Workaround: To mitigate this issue, set the keyboard language to English during user creation or use a Microsoft Account to complete OOBE. You can set the keyboard language back to your preferred language after user creation. Once the OOBE is done and you are at the desktop, you can rename the current user using these instructions. If you prefer to create a new local user, see KB4026923.

Next steps: We are working on a resolution and estimate a solution will be available in late November.

Unable to create local users in Chinese, Japanese and Korean during device setup
When setting up a new Windows device using the Out of Box Experience (OOBE), you might be unable to create a local user when using Input Method Editor (IME). This issue might affect you if you are using the IME for Chinese, Japanese, or Korean languages.

Note This issue does not affect using a Microsoft Account during OOBE.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1903; Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10, version 1803; Windows 10, version 1709
  • Server: Windows Server, version 1903; Windows Server, version 1809; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server, version 1803; Windows Server, version 1709
Workaround: To mitigate this issue, set the keyboard language to English during user creation or use a Microsoft Account to complete OOBE. You can set the keyboard language back to your preferred language after user creation. Once the OOBE is done and you are at the desktop, you can rename the current user using these instructions. If you prefer to create a new local user, see KB4026923.

Next steps: We are working on a resolution and estimate a solution will be available in late November.

As a result, after updating to Windows 10, version 1809, audio playback from a monitor or television connected to a PC via HDMI, USB-C, or a DisplayPort may not function correctly on devices with these drivers.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019
  • Server: Windows Server, version 1809; Windows Server 2019 
Next steps: Intel has released updated drivers to OEM device manufacturers. OEMs need to make the updated driver available via Windows Update.

For more information, see the Intel Customer Support article.

Note: This Intel display driver issue is different from the Intel Smart Sound Technology driver (version 09.21.00.3755) audio issue previously documented.

Microsoft and Avast has identified compatibility issues with some older versions of Avast Antivirus and AVG Antivirus that might still be installed by a small number of users. Any application from Avast or AVG that contains Antivirus version 19.5.4444.567 or earlier is affected.

To safeguard your upgrade experience, we have applied a hold on devices with affected Avast and AVG Antivirus from being offered or installing Windows 10, version 1903 or Windows 10, version 1909, until the application is updated.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1909; Windows 10, version 1903
  • Server: Windows Server, version 1909; Windows Server, version 1903
Workaround: Before updating to Windows 10, version 1903 or Windows 10, version 1909, you will need to download and install an updated version of your Avast or AVG application. Guidance for Avast and AVG customers can be found in the following support articles:
Note We recommend that you do not attempt to manually update using the Update now button or the Media Creation Tool until a new version of your Avast or AVG application has been installed and the Windows 10, version 1903 or Windows 10, version 1909 feature update has been automatically offered to you.

TLS connections might fail or timeout
Updates for Windows released October 8, 2019 or later provide protections, tracked by CVE-2019-1318, against an attack that could allow unauthorized access to information or data within TLS connections. This type of attack is known as a man-in-the-middle exploit. Windows might fail to connect to TLS clients and servers that do not support Extended Master Secret for resumption (RFC 7627). Lack of RFC support might cause one or more of the following errors or logged events:
  • \"The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure Channel\"
  • SCHANNEL event 36887 is logged in the System event log with the description, \"A fatal alert was received from the remote endpoint. The TLS protocol defined fatal alert code is 20.​\"
Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1903; Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10, version 1803; Windows 10, version 1709; Windows 10, version 1703; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016; Windows 10, version 1607; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2015; Windows 8.1; Windows 7 SP1
  • Server: Windows Server, version 1903; Windows Server, version 1809; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server, version 1803; Windows Server, version 1709 ; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012; Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1; Windows Server 2008 SP2

Next Steps: Connections between two devices running any supported version of Windows should not have this issue when fully updated. There is no update for Windows needed for this issue. These changes are required to address a security issue and security compliance. For information, see KB4528489.

Unable to create local users in Chinese, Japanese and Korean during device setup
When setting up a new Windows device using the Out of Box Experience (OOBE), you might be unable to create a local user when using Input Method Editor (IME). This issue might affect you if you are using the IME for Chinese, Japanese, or Korean languages.

Note This issue does not affect using a Microsoft Account during OOBE.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1903; Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10, version 1803; Windows 10, version 1709
  • Server: Windows Server, version 1903; Windows Server, version 1809; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server, version 1803; Windows Server, version 1709
Workaround: To mitigate this issue, set the keyboard language to English during user creation or use a Microsoft Account to complete OOBE. You can set the keyboard language back to your preferred language after user creation. Once the OOBE is done and you are at the desktop, you can rename the current user using these instructions. If you prefer to create a new local user, see KB4026923.

Next steps: We are working on a resolution and estimate a solution will be available in late November.

Intel Audio displays an intcdaud.sys notification
Microsoft and Intel have identified an issue with a range of Intel Display Audio device drivers that may result in higher than normal battery drain. If you see an intcdaud.sys notification or “What needs your attention” notification when trying to update to Windows 10, version 1903, you have an affected Intel Audio Display device driver installed on your machine (intcdaud.sys, versions 10.25.0.3 through 10.25.0.8).
  
To safeguard your update experience, we have applied a compatibility hold on devices with drivers from being offered Windows 10, version 1903 until updated device drivers have been installed.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1903; Windows 10, version 1809
Workaround:
On the “What needs your attention\" notification, click the Back button to remain on your current version of Windows 10. (Do not click Confirm as this will proceed with the update and you may experience compatibility issues.) Affected devices will automatically revert to the previous working configuration.

For more information, see Intel's customer support guidance and the Microsoft knowledge base article KB4465877.

Note We recommend you do not attempt to update your devices until newer device drivers are installed.

Next steps: You can opt to wait for newer drivers to be installed automatically through Windows Update or check with the computer manufacturer for the latest device driver software availability and installation procedures.

Issues with some older versions of Avast and AVG anti-virus products
Microsoft and Avast has identified compatibility issues with some older versions of Avast Antivirus and AVG Antivirus that might still be installed by a small number of users. Any application from Avast or AVG that contains Antivirus version 19.5.4444.567 or earlier is affected.

To safeguard your upgrade experience, we have applied a hold on devices with affected Avast and AVG Antivirus from being offered or installing Windows 10, version 1903 or Windows 10, version 1909, until the application is updated.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1909; Windows 10, version 1903
  • Server: Windows Server, version 1909; Windows Server, version 1903
Workaround: Before updating to Windows 10, version 1903 or Windows 10, version 1909, you will need to download and install an updated version of your Avast or AVG application. Guidance for Avast and AVG customers can be found in the following support articles:
Note We recommend that you do not attempt to manually update using the Update now button or the Media Creation Tool until a new version of your Avast or AVG application has been installed and the Windows 10, version 1903 or Windows 10, version 1909 feature update has been automatically offered to you.

Unable to create local users in Chinese, Japanese and Korean during device setup
When setting up a new Windows device using the Out of Box Experience (OOBE), you might be unable to create a local user when using Input Method Editor (IME). This issue might affect you if you are using the IME for Chinese, Japanese, or Korean languages.

Note This issue does not affect using a Microsoft Account during OOBE.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1909; Windows 10, version 1903; Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10, version 1803; Windows 10, version 1709
  • Server: Windows Server, version 1909; Windows Server, version 1903; Windows Server, version 1809; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server, version 1803; Windows Server, version 1709
Workaround: To mitigate this issue, set the keyboard language to English during user creation or use a Microsoft Account to complete OOBE. You can set the keyboard language back to your preferred language after user creation. Once the OOBE is done and you are at the desktop, you can rename the current user using these instructions. If you prefer to create a new local user, see KB4026923.

Next steps: We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

MSRT might fail to install and be re-offered from Windows Update or WSUS
The November 2019 update for Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) might fail to install from Windows Update (WU), Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or Configuration Manager and might be re-offered. If you use WU or WSUS, you might also receive the following error in the WindowsUpdate.log, “Misc  WARNING: Digital Signatures on file C:\\Windows\\SoftwareDistribution\\Download\\XXXX are not trusted: Error 0x800b0109”. If you use Configuration Manager, you might also receive the following error in the WUAHandler.log, \"Failed to download updates to the WUAgent datastore. Error = 0x800b0109.     WUAHandler   14/11/2019 16:33:23        980 (0x03D4)\". Note All Configuration Manager information also applies to System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 7 SP1
  • Server: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1; Windows Server 2008 SP2
Workaround: You can manually install the November 2019 update for Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) by downloading it here for 32-bit x86-based devices or here for 64-bit x64-based devices. If you are using WSUS or Configuration Manager, guidance can be found here.

Next steps: This issue has been mitigated on the server side and MSRT will no longer offered to affected platforms. We are working on a resolution and estimate a solution will be available in the December 2019 release of Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT).

TLS connections might fail or timeout
Updates for Windows released October 8, 2019 or later provide protections, tracked by CVE-2019-1318, against an attack that could allow unauthorized access to information or data within TLS connections. This type of attack is known as a man-in-the-middle exploit. Windows might fail to connect to TLS clients and servers that do not support Extended Master Secret for resumption (RFC 7627). Lack of RFC support might cause one or more of the following errors or logged events:
  • \"The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure Channel\"
  • SCHANNEL event 36887 is logged in the System event log with the description, \"A fatal alert was received from the remote endpoint. The TLS protocol defined fatal alert code is 20.​\"
Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1903; Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10, version 1803; Windows 10, version 1709; Windows 10, version 1703; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016; Windows 10, version 1607; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2015; Windows 8.1; Windows 7 SP1

Next Steps: Connections between two devices running any supported version of Windows should not have this issue when fully updated. There is no update for Windows needed for this issue. These changes are required to address a security issue and security compliance. For information, see KB4528489.

Intermittent issues when printing
Applications and printer drivers that leverage the Windows Javascript engine (jscript.dll) for processing print jobs might experience one or more of the following symptoms:
  • Applications interacting with the V4 printer driver might close or error when printing. Issues might only be encountered when printing but might also be encountered at any time the app is running, depending on when the app interacts with the print driver.
  • The printer spooler service (spoolsv.exe) might close or error in jscript.dll with exception code 0xc0000005 causing the print jobs to stop processing. Only part of the print job might print and the rest might be canceled or error.

MSRT might fail to install and be re-offered from Windows Update or WSUS
The November 2019 update for Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) might fail to install from Windows Update (WU), Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or Configuration Manager and might be re-offered. If you use WU or WSUS, you might also receive the following error in the WindowsUpdate.log, “Misc  WARNING: Digital Signatures on file C:\\Windows\\SoftwareDistribution\\Download\\XXXX are not trusted: Error 0x800b0109”. If you use Configuration Manager, you might also receive the following error in the WUAHandler.log, \"Failed to download updates to the WUAgent datastore. Error = 0x800b0109.     WUAHandler   14/11/2019 16:33:23        980 (0x03D4)\". Note All Configuration Manager information also applies to System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 7 SP1
  • Server: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1; Windows Server 2008 SP2
Workaround: You can manually install the November 2019 update for Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) by downloading it here for 32-bit x86-based devices or here for 64-bit x64-based devices. If you are using WSUS or Configuration Manager, guidance can be found here.

Next steps: This issue has been mitigated on the server side and MSRT will no longer offered to affected platforms. We are working on a resolution and estimate a solution will be available in the December 2019 release of Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT).

TLS connections might fail or timeout
Updates for Windows released October 8, 2019 or later provide protections, tracked by CVE-2019-1318, against an attack that could allow unauthorized access to information or data within TLS connections. This type of attack is known as a man-in-the-middle exploit. Windows might fail to connect to TLS clients and servers that do not support Extended Master Secret for resumption (RFC 7627). Lack of RFC support might cause one or more of the following errors or logged events:
  • \"The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure Channel\"
  • SCHANNEL event 36887 is logged in the System event log with the description, \"A fatal alert was received from the remote endpoint. The TLS protocol defined fatal alert code is 20.​\"
Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1903; Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10, version 1803; Windows 10, version 1709; Windows 10, version 1703; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016; Windows 10, version 1607; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2015; Windows 8.1; Windows 7 SP1
  • Server: Windows Server, version 1903; Windows Server, version 1809; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server, version 1803; Windows Server, version 1709 ; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012; Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1; Windows Server 2008 SP2

Next Steps: Connections between two devices running any supported version of Windows should not have this issue when fully updated. There is no update for Windows needed for this issue. These changes are required to address a security issue and security compliance. For information, see KB4528489.

Issues manually installing updates by double-clicking the .msu file
After installing the SHA-2 update (KB4474419) released on September 10, 2019, you may encounter issues manually installing updates by double-clicking on the .msu file and may receive the error, \"Installer encountered an error: 0x80073afc. The resource loader failed to find MUI file.\"

Affected platforms:
  • Server: Windows Server 2008 SP2
Workaround: Open a command prompt and use the following command (replacing <msu location> with the actual location and filename of the update): wusa.exe <msu location> /quiet

Resolution: This issue is resolved in KB4474419 released October 8, 2019. It will install automatically from Windows Update and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). If you need to install this update manually, you will need to use the workaround above.

Note If you previously installed KB4474419 released September 23, 2019, then you already have the latest version of this update and do not need to reinstall.

Using our unique hardware isolation approach, our goal is to destroy the playbook that attackers use by making current attack methods obsolete. ## What is Application Guard and how does it work? + Designed for Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge, Application Guard helps to isolate enterprise-defined untrusted sites, protecting your company while your employees browse the Internet. As an enterprise administrator, you define what is among trusted web sites, cloud resources, and internal networks. Everything not on your list is considered untrusted. If an employee goes to an untrusted site through either Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge opens the site in an isolated Hyper-V-enabled container, which is separate from the host operating system. This container isolation means that if the untrusted site turns out to be malicious, the host PC is protected, and the attacker can't get to your enterprise data. For example, this approach makes the isolated container anonymous, so an attacker can't get to your employee's enterprise credentials. @@ -27,21 +29,22 @@ If an employee goes to an untrusted site through either Microsoft Edge or Intern ![Hardware isolation diagram](images/appguard-hardware-isolation.png) ### What types of devices should use Application Guard? + Application Guard has been created to target several types of systems: - **Enterprise desktops.** These desktops are domain-joined and managed by your organization.

If an account lockout threshold is defined, the account lockout duration must be greater than or equal to the reset time. | -| Account Lockout | Account Lockout Threshold | 10 | The number of failed logon attempts that causes a user account to be locked out. A locked-out account cannot be used until it is reset by an administrator or until the lockout duration for the account has expired. | -| Account Lockout | Reset account lockout counter after | 15 | The number of minutes that must elapse after a failed logon attempt before the failed logon attempt counter is reset to 0 bad logon attempts. | -| Password Policy | Enforce password history | 24 | The number of unique new passwords that must be associated with a user account before an old password can be reused. | -| Password Policy | Minimum password length | 14 | The least number of characters that a password for a user account may contain. | -| Password Policy | Password must meet complexity requirements | Enabled | Determines whether passwords must meet complexity requirements:
    1) Not contain the user's samAccountName (Account Name) value or entire displayName (Full Name value). Neither check is case sensitive.
    The samAccountName is checked in its entirety only to determine whether it is part of the password. If the samAccountName is less than three characters long, this check is skipped. The displayName is parsed for delimiters: commas, periods, dashes or hyphens, underscores, spaces, pound signs, and tabs. If any of these delimiters are found, the displayName is split and all parsed sections (tokens) are confirmed to not be included in the password. Tokens that are less than three characters are ignored, and substrings of the tokens are not checked. For example, the name "Erin M. Hagens" is split into three tokens: "Erin", "M", and "Hagens". Because the second token is only one character long, it is ignored. Therefore, this user could not have a password that included either "erin" or "hagens" as a substring anywhere in the password.
    2) Contain characters from three of the following categories:
    - Uppercase letters of European languages (A through Z, with diacritic marks, Greek and Cyrillic characters)
    - Lowercase letters of European languages (a through z, sharp-s, with diacritic marks, Greek and Cyrillic characters)
    - Base 10 digits (0 through 9)
    -Non-alphanumeric characters (special characters):
    (~!@#$%^&*_-+=`\|\\(){}[]:;"'<>,.?/)
    Currency symbols such as the Euro or British Pound are not counted as special characters for this policy setting.
    - Any Unicode character that is categorized as an alphabetic character but is not uppercase or lowercase. This includes Unicode characters from Asian languages. | -| Password Policy | Store passwords using reversible encryption | Disabled | Determines whether the operating system stores passwords using reversible encryption. | -| Security Options | Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only | Enabled | This security setting determines whether local accounts that are not password protected can be used to log on from locations other than the physical computer console. If enabled, local accounts that are not password protected will only be able to log on at the computer's keyboard. | -| Security Options | Audit: Force audit policy subcategory settings (Windows Vista or later) to override audit policy category settings | Enabled | Windows Vista and later versions of Windows allow audit policy to be managed in a more precise way using audit policy subcategories. Setting audit policy at the category level will override the new subcategory audit policy feature. Group Policy only allows audit policy to be set at the category level, and existing Group Policy may override the subcategory settings of new machines as they are joined to the domain or upgraded. To allow audit policy to be managed using subcategories without requiring a change to Group Policy, there is a new registry value in Windows Vista and later versions, SCENoApplyLegacyAuditPolicy, which prevents the application of category-level audit policy from Group Policy and from the Local Security Policy administrative tool. | -| Security Options | Domain member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always) | Enabled | This security setting determines whether all secure channel traffic initiated by the domain member must be signed or encrypted. This setting determines whether all secure channel traffic initiated by the domain member meets minimum security requirements. Specifically, it determines whether all secure channel traffic initiated by the domain member must be signed or encrypted. If this policy is enabled, then the secure channel will not be established unless either signing or encryption of all secure channel traffic is negotiated. If this policy is disabled, then encryption and signing of all secure channel traffic is negotiated with the Domain Controller in which case the level of signing and encryption depends on the version of the Domain Controller and the settings of the following two policies:
    - Domain member: Digitally encrypt secure channel data (when possible)
    - Domain member: Digitally sign secure channel data (when possible) | -| Security Options | Domain member: Digitally encrypt secure channel data (when possible) | Enabled | This security setting determines whether a domain member attempts to negotiate encryption for all secure channel traffic that it initiates. If enabled, the domain member will request encryption of all secure channel traffic. If the domain controller supports encryption of all secure channel traffic, then all secure channel traffic will be encrypted. Otherwise, only logon information transmitted over the secure channel will be encrypted. If this setting is disabled, then the domain member will not attempt to negotiate secure channel encryption. | -| Security Options | Domain member: Digitally sign secure channel data (when possible) | Enabled | This security setting determines whether a domain member attempts to negotiate signing for all secure channel traffic that it initiates. If enabled, the domain member will request signing of all secure channel traffic. If the Domain Controller supports signing of all secure channel traffic, then all secure channel traffic will be signed, which ensures that it cannot be tampered with in transit. | -| Security Options | Domain member: Disable machine account password changes | Disabled | Determines whether a domain member periodically changes its computer account password. | -| Security Options | Domain member: Maximum machine account password age | 30 | Determines how often a domain member will attempt to change its computer account password | -| Security Options | Domain member: require strong (Windows 2000 or later) session key | Enabled | Determines whether 128-bit key strength is required for encrypted secure channel data | -| Security Options | Interactive logon: Machine inactivity limit | 900 | The number of seconds of inactivity before the session is locked | -| Security Options | Interactive logon: Smart card removal behavior | Lock Workstation | This security setting determines what happens when the smart card for a logged-on user is removed from the smart card reader. If you click **Lock Workstation** in the **Properties** for this policy, the workstation is locked when the smart card is removed, allowing users to leave the area, take their smart cards with them, and still maintain protected sessions. For this setting to work beginning with Windows Vista, the Smart Card Removal Policy service must be started. | -| Security Options | Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always) | Enabled | This security setting determines whether packet signing is required by the SMB client component. | -| Security Options | Microsoft network client: Send unencrypted password to third party SMB servers| Disabled | If this security setting is enabled, the Server Message Block (SMB) redirector can send plaintext passwords to non-Microsoft SMB servers that do not support password encryption during authentication. Sending unencrypted passwords is a security risk. | -| Security Options | Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always) | Enabled | This security setting determines whether packet signing is required by the SMB server component. | -| Security Options | Network access: Allow anonymous SID/Name translation | Disabled | This security setting determines if an anonymous user can request security identifier (SID) attributes for another user. If this policy is enabled, a user with knowledge of an administrator's SID could contact a computer that has this policy enabled and use the SID to get the administrator's name. | -| Security Options | Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts | Enabled | This security setting determines what additional permissions will be granted for anonymous connections to the computer. Windows allows anonymous users to perform certain activities, such as enumerating the names of domain accounts and network shares. This is convenient, for example, when an administrator wants to grant access to users in a trusted domain that does not maintain a reciprocal trust. This security option allows additional restrictions to be placed on anonymous connections as follows: Enabled: Do not allow enumeration of SAM accounts. This option replaces Everyone with Authenticated Users in the security permissions for resources. | -| Security Options | Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares | Enabled | This security setting determines whether anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares is allowed. Windows allows anonymous users to perform certain activities, such as enumerating the names of domain accounts and network shares. This is convenient, for example, when an administrator wants to grant access to users in a trusted domain that does not maintain a reciprocal trust. If you do not want to allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares, then enable this policy. | -| Security Options | Network access: Restrict anonymous access to Named Pipes and Shares | Enabled | When enabled, this security setting restricts anonymous access to shares and pipes to the settings for:
    - Network access: Named pipes that can be accessed anonymously
    - Network access: Shares that can be accessed anonymously | -| Security Options | Network access: Restrict clients allowed to make remote calls to SAM | O:BAG:BAD:(A;;RC;;;BA) | This policy setting allows you to restrict remote RPC connections to SAM. If not selected, the default security descriptor will be used. | -| Security Options | Network security: Allow LocalSystem NULL session fallback | Disabled | Allow NTLM to fall back to NULL session when used with LocalSystem | -| Security Options | Network security: Do not store LAN Manager hash value on next password change | Enabled | This security setting determines if, at the next password change, the LAN Manager (LM) hash value for the new password is stored. The LM hash is relatively weak and prone to attack, as compared with the cryptographically stronger Windows NT hash. Since the LM hash is stored on the local computer in the security database the passwords can be compromised if the security database is attacked. | -| Security Options | Network security: LAN Manager authentication level | Send NTLMv2 response only. Refuse LM & NTLM | This security setting determines which challenge/response authentication protocol is used for network logons. This choice affects the level of authentication protocol used by clients, the level of session security negotiated, and the level of authentication accepted by servers as follows: Send NTLMv2 response only\\refuse LM & NTLM: Clients use NTLMv2 authentication only and use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it; domain controllers refuse LM and NTLM (accept only NTLMv2 authentication). | -| Security Options | Network security: LDAP client signing requirements | Negotiate signing | This security setting determines the level of data signing that is requested on behalf of clients issuing LDAP BIND requests, as follows: Negotiate signing: If Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer (TLS\\SSL) has not been started, the LDAP BIND request is initiated with the LDAP data signing option set in addition to the options specified by the caller. If TLS\\SSL has been started, the LDAP BIND request is initiated with the options that are specified by the caller. | -| Security Options | Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients | Require NTLMv2 session security and Require 128-bit encryption | This security setting allows a client to require the negotiation of 128-bit encryption and/or NTLMv2 session security. These values are dependent on the LAN Manager Authentication Level security setting value. | -| Security Options | Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers | Require NTLMv2 session security and Require 128-bit encryption | This security setting allows a server to require the negotiation of 128-bit encryption and/or NTLMv2 session security. These values are dependent on the LAN Manager Authentication Level security setting value. | -| Security Options | System objects: Strengthen default permissions of internal system objects (e.g. Symbolic Links) | Enabled | This security setting determines the strength of the default discretionary access control list (DACL) for objects. Active Directory maintains a global list of shared system resources, such as DOS device names, mutexes, and semaphores. In this way, objects can be located and shared among processes. Each type of object is created with a default DACL that specifies who can access the objects and what permissions are granted. If this policy is enabled, the default DACL is stronger, allowing users who are not administrators to read shared objects but not allowing these users to modify shared objects that they did not create. | -| Security Options | User Account Control: Admin approval mode for the built-in administrator | Enabled | The built-in Administrator account uses Admin Approval Mode - any operation that requires elevation of privilege will prompt to user to approve that operation | -| Security Options | User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode | Prompt for consent on the secure desktop | When an operation requires elevation of privilege, the user is prompted on the secure desktop to enter a privileged user name and password. If the user enters valid credentials, the operation continues with the user's highest available privilege. | -| Security Options | User Account Control: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation | Enabled | When an application installation package is detected that requires elevation of privilege, the user is prompted to enter an administrative user name and password. If the user enters valid credentials, the operation continues with the applicable privilege. | -| Security Options | User Account Control: Only elevate UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations | Enabled | This policy setting controls whether applications that request to run with a User Interface Accessibility (UIAccess) integrity level must reside in a secure location in the file system. Secure locations are limited to the following: - …\\Program Files\\, including subfolders - …\\Windows\\system32\\ - …\\Program Files (x86)\\, including subfolders for 64-bit versions of Windows | -| Security Options | User Account Control: Run all Administrators in admin approval mode | Enabled | This policy must be enabled, and related UAC policy settings must also be set appropriately to allow the built-in Administrator account and all other users who are members of the Administrators group to run in Admin Approval Mode. | -| Security Options | User Account Control: Virtualize file and registry write failures to per-user locations | Enabled | This policy setting controls whether application write failures are redirected to defined registry and file system locations. This policy setting mitigates applications that run as administrator and write run-time application data to %ProgramFiles%, %Windir%, %Windir%\\system32, or HKLM\\Software. | -| User Rights Assignments | Access Credential Manager as a trusted caller | No One (blank) | This setting is used by Credential Manager during Backup/Restore. No accounts should have this privilege, as it is only assigned to Winlogon. Users saved credentials might be compromised if this privilege is given to other entities.| -| User Rights Assignment | Access this computer from the network | Administrators; Remote Desktop Users | This user right determines which users and groups can connect to the computer over the network. Remote Desktop Services are not affected by this user right. | -| User Rights Assignments | Act as part of the operating system | No One (blank) | This user right allows a process to impersonate any user without authentication. The process can therefore gain access to the same local resources as that user. | -| User Rights Assignments | Allow log on locally | Administrators; Users | Determines which users can log on to the computer | -| User Rights Assignments | Back up files and directories | Administrators | Determines which users can bypass file and directory, registry, and other persistent object permissions for the purposes of backing up the system | -| User Rights Assignments | Create a pagefile | Administrators | Determines which users and groups can call an internal application programming interface (API) to create and change the size of a page file | -| User Rights Assignments | Create a token object | No One (blank) | Determines which accounts can be used by processes to create a token that can then be used to get access to any local resources when the process uses an internal application programming interface (API) to create an access token. | -| User Rights Assignments | Create global objects | Administrators; LOCAL SERVICE; NETWORK SERVICE; SERVICE | This security setting determines whether users can create global objects that are available to all sessions. | -| User Rights Assignments | Create permanent shared objects | No One (blank) | Determines which accounts can be used by processes to create a directory object using the object manager | -| User Rights Assignments | Debug programs | Administrators | Determines which users can attach a debugger to any process or to the kernel. Developers who are debugging their own applications do not need to be assigned this user right. Developers who are debugging new system components will need this user right to be able to do so. This user right provides complete access to sensitive and critical operating system components. | -| User Rights Assignment | Enable computer and user accounts to be trusted for delegation | No One (blank) | This security setting determines which users can set the Trusted for Delegation setting on a user or computer object. | -| User Rights Assignments | Force shutdown from a remote system | Administrators | Determines which users can shut down a computer from a remote location on the network. Misuse of this user right can result in a denial of service. | -| User Rights Assignment | Impersonate a client after authentication | Administrators, SERVICE, Local Service, Network Service | Assigning this privilege to a user allows programs running on behalf of that user to impersonate a client. Requiring this user right for this kind of impersonation prevents an unauthorized user from convincing a client to connect (for example, by remote procedure call (RPC) or named pipes) to a service that they have created and then impersonating that client, which can elevate the unauthorized user's permissions to administrative or system levels. | -| User Rights Assignments | Load and unload device drivers | Administrators | Determines which users can dynamically load and unload device drivers or other code in to kernel mode. This user right does not apply to Plug and Play device drivers. | -| User Rights Assignment | Lock pages in memory | No One (blank) | Determines which accounts can use a process to keep data in physical memory, which prevents the system from paging the data to virtual memory on disk. Exercising this privilege could significantly affect system performance by decreasing the amount of available random-access memory (RAM). | -| User Rights Assignments | Manage auditing and security log | Administrators | Determines which users can specify object access auditing options for individual resources, such as files, Active Directory objects, and registry keys. | -| User Rights Assignments | Modify firmware environment variables | Administrators | Determines who can modify firmware environment values. Firmware environment variables are settings stored in the nonvolatile RAM of non-x86-based computers. The effect of the setting depends on the processor. | -| User Rights Assignment | Perform volume maintenance tasks | Administrators | This security setting determines which users and groups can run maintenance tasks on a volume, such as remote defragmentation. | -| User Rights Assignment | Profile single process | Administrators | This security setting determines which users can use performance monitoring tools to monitor the performance of non-system processes. | -| User Rights Assignments | Restore files and directories | Administrators | Determines which users can bypass file, directory, registry, and other persistent objects permissions when restoring backed up files and directories, and determines which users can set any valid security principal as the owner of an object | -| User Rights Assignments | Take ownership of files or other objects | Administrators | Determines which users can take ownership of any securable object in the system, including Active Directory objects, files and folders, printers, registry keys, processes, and threads | - -### Advanced Audit Policies - -| Feature | Policy Setting | Policy Value | Description | -|---------|----------------|--------------|-------------| -| Account Logon | Audit Credential Validation | Success and Failure | Audit events generated by validation tests on user account logon credentials.

-### Computer Policies - -| Feature | Policy Setting | Policy Value | Description | -|---------|----------------|--------------|-------------| -| LAPS | Enable local admin password management | Enabled | Activates LAPS for the device | -| MS Security Guide | Apply UAC restrictions to local accounts on network logon | Enabled | Filters the user account token for built-in administrator accounts for network logons | -| MS Security Guide | Configure SMB v1 client driver | Disable driver (recommended) | Configure the startup mode for the kernel mode driver that implements client-side SMBv1 processing (MrxSmb10). This setting includes a dropdown that is activated when the Enabled radio button is selected and that controls the “Start” registry value in HKLM\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\MrxSmb10. | -| MS Security Guide | Configure SMB v1 server | Disabled | Disable or enable server-side processing of the SMBv1 protocol | -| MS Security Guide | Enabled Structured Exception Handling Overwrite Protection (SEHOP)| Enabled | This feature is designed to block exploits that use the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) overwrite technique. This protection mechanism is provided at run-time. Therefore, it helps protect applications regardless of whether they have been compiled with the latest improvements, such as the /SAFESEH option. We recommend that Windows users who are running any of the above operating systems enable this feature to improve the security profile of their systems. | -| MS Security Guide | NetBT NodeType Configuration | P-node (recommended) | The NetBT NodeType setting determines what methods NetBT uses to register and resolve names:
    - A B-node computer uses broadcasts.
    - A P-node computer uses only point-to-point name queries to a name server (WINS).
    - An M-node computer broadcasts first, and then queries the name server.
    - An H-node computer queries the name server first, and then broadcasts.
    Resolution through LMHOSTS or DNS follows these methods. If the NodeType value is present, it overrides any DhcpNodeType value.
    If neither NodeType nor DhcpNodeType is present, the computer uses B-node if there are no WINS servers configured for the network, or H-node if there is at least one WINS server configured. | -| MS Security Guide | WDigest Authentication | Disabled | When the WDigest Authentication protocol is enabled, plain text passwords are stored in the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) exposing them to theft. WDigest is disabled by default in Windows 10. This setting ensures this is enforced. | -| MSS | MSS: (DisableIPSourceRouting IPv6) IP source routing protection level (Protects against packet spoofing) | Highest Protection, source routing is completely disabled | Allowing source routed network traffic allows attackers to obscure their identity and location. | -| MSS | MSS: (DisableIPSourceRouting) IP source routing protection level (Protects against packet spoofing) | Highest Protection, source routing is completely disabled | Allowing source routed network traffic allows attackers to obscure their identity and location. | -| MSS | MSS: (EnableICMPRedirect) Allow ICMP redirects to override OSPF generated routes | Disabled | Allowing ICMP redirect of routes can lead to traffic not being routed properly. When disabled, this forces ICMP to be routed via shortest path first. | -| MSS | MSS: (NoNameReleaseOnDemand) Allow the computer to ignore NetBIOS name release requests except from WINS servers | Enabled | Prevents a denial-of-service (DoS) attack against a WINS server. The DoS consists of sending a NetBIOS Name Release Request to the server for each entry in the server's cache, causing a response delay in the normal operation of the server's WINS resolution capability. | -| Network / DNS Client | Turn off multicast name resolution | Enabled | 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.
    If you enable this policy setting, LLMNR will be disabled on all available network adapters on the client computer.
    If you disable this policy setting, or you do not configure this policy setting, LLMNR will be enabled on all available network adapters.| -| Network / Lanman Workstation | Enable insecure guest logons | Disabled | Determines if the SMB client will allow insecure guest logons to an SMB server | -| Network / Network Connections | Prohibit use of Internet Connection Sharing on your DNS domain network | Enabled | Determines whether administrators can enable and configure the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) feature of an Internet connection and if the ICS service can run on the computer. | -| Network / Network Provider | Hardened UNC Paths | \\\\\*\\SYSVOL and \\\\\*\\NETLOGON RequireMutualAuthentication = 1, RequireIntegrity = 1 | This policy setting configures secure access to UNC paths.

This policy setting takes precedence over any other policy setting that allows Windows to install a device. if you enable this policy setting, Windows is prevented from installing or updating device drivers whose device setup class GUIDs appear in the list you create. If you enable this policy setting on a remote desktop server, the policy setting affects redirection of the specified devices from a remote desktop client to the remote desktop server. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows can install and update devices as allowed or prevented by other policy settings. | -| System / Early Launch Antimalware | Boot-Start Driver Initialization Policy | Good, unknown and bad but critical | Allows you to specify which boot-start drivers are initialized based on a classification determined by an Early Launch Antimalware boot-start driver. The Early Launch Antimalware boot-start driver can return the following classifications for each boot-start driver:
    - Good: The driver has been signed and has not been tampered with.
    - Bad: The driver has been identified as malware. It is recommended that you do not allow known bad drivers to be initialized.
    - Bad, but required for boot: The driver has been identified as malware, but the computer cannot successfully boot without loading this driver.
    - Unknown: This driver has not been attested to by your malware detection application and has not been classified by the Early Launch Antimalware boot-start driver.
    If you enable this policy setting you will be able to choose which boot-start drivers to initialize the next time the computer is started.
    If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the boot start drivers determined to be Good, Unknown or Bad but Boot Critical are initialized and the initialization of drivers determined to be Bad is skipped.
    If your malware detection application does not include an Early Launch Antimalware boot-start driver or if your Early Launch Antimalware boot-start driver has been disabled, this setting has no effect and all boot-start drivers are initialized. | -| System / Group Policy | Configure registry policy processing | Process even if the Group Policy objects have not changed = True
    Do not apply during periodic background processing = False | Determines when registry policies are updated.
    This policy setting affects all policies in the Administrative Templates folder and any other policies that store values in the registry. It overrides customized settings that the program implementing a registry policy set when it was installed.
    If you enable this policy setting, you can use the check boxes provided to change the options. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, it has no effect on the system.
    The "Do not apply during periodic background processing" option prevents the system from updating affected policies in the background while the computer is in use. When background updates are disabled, policy changes will not take effect until the next user logon or system restart.
    The "Process even if the Group Policy objects have not changed" option updates and reapplies the policies even if the policies have not changed. Many policy implementations specify that they are updated only when changed. However, you might want to update unchanged policies, such as reapplying a desired policy setting in case a user has changed it. | -| System / Internet Communication Management / Internet Communication settings| Turn off Internet download for Web publishing and online ordering wizards | Enabled | This policy setting specifies whether Windows should download a list of providers for the web publishing and online ordering wizards. These wizards allow users to select from a list of companies that provide services such as online storage and photographic printing.

    Pick one of the following settings = Warn and prevent bypass | Turn Windows Defender SmartScreen on or off. SmartScreen helps protect PCs by warning users before running potentially malicious programs downloaded from the Internet. This warning is presented as an interstitial dialog shown before running an app that has been downloaded from the Internet and is unrecognized or known to be malicious. No dialog is shown for apps that do not appear to be suspicious. Some information is sent to Microsoft about files and programs run on PCs with this feature enabled. If you enable this policy, SmartScreen will be turned on for all users. Its behavior can be controlled by the following options:
    - Warn and prevent bypass
    - Warn
    If you enable this policy with the "Warn and prevent bypass" option, SmartScreen's dialogs will not present the user with the option to disregard the warning and run the app. SmartScreen will continue to show the warning on subsequent attempts to run the app. If you enable this policy with the "Warn" option, SmartScreen's dialogs will warn the user that the app appears suspicious, but will permit the user to disregard the warning and run the app anyway. SmartScreen will not warn the user again for that app if the user tells SmartScreen to run the app. If you disable this policy, SmartScreen will be turned off for all users.

EDR helps security analysts , and aggregates alerts with the same attack techniques or attributed to the same attacker into an entity called an *incident*. An incident helps analysts prioritize alerts, collectively investigate the full scope of a breach, and respond to threats. Windows Defender ATP EDR is not expected to impact users or applications, and it can be deployed to all devices in a single step. | -| [Windows Defender Credential Guard](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/identity-protection/credential-guard/credential-guard) | Enabled for all compatible hardware | Windows Defender Credential Guard uses virtualization-based security to isolate secrets so that only privileged system software can access them. Unauthorized access to these secrets can lead to credential theft attacks, such as Pass-the-Hash or Pass-The-Ticket. Windows Defender Credential Guard prevents these attacks by protecting NTLM password hashes, Kerberos Ticket Granting Tickets (TGTs), and credentials stored by applications as domain credentials. There is a small risk to application compatibility, as [applications will break](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/identity-protection/credential-guard/credential-guard-requirements#application-requirements) if they require NTLMv1, Kerberos DES encryption, Kerberos unconstrained delegation, or extracting the Keberos TGT. As such, Microsoft recommends deploying Credential Guard using [the rings methodology](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates). | -| [Microsoft Edge](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/deploy/) | Default browser | Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 provides better security than Internet Explorer 11 (IE11). While you may still need to leverage IE11 for compatibility with some sites, Microsoft recommends configuring Microsoft Edge as the default browser, and building an Enterprise Mode Site List to redirect to IE11 only for those sites that require it. Microsoft recommends leveraging either Windows Analytics or Enterprise Site Discovery to build the initial Enterprise Mode Site List, and then gradually deploying this configuration using [the rings methodology](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates). | -| [Windows Defender Application Guard](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-application-guard/wd-app-guard-overview) | Enabled on compatible hardware | Windows Defender Application Guard uses a hardware isolation approach. If an employee goes to an untrusted site through either Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge opens the site in an isolated container, which is separate from the host operating system and enabled by Hyper-V. If the untrusted site turns out to be malicious, the isolated container protects the host PC, and the attacker can't get to your enterprise data. There is a small risk to application compatibility, as some applications may require interaction with the host PC but may not yet be on the list of trusted web sites for Application Guard. Microsoft recommends leveraging either Windows Analytics or Enterprise Site Discovery to build the initial Network Isolation Settings, and then gradually deploying this configuration using [the rings methodology](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates). | -| [Network protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/network-protection-exploit-guard) | Configure and enforce Network Protection | Network protection helps to prevent employees from using any application to access dangerous domains that may host phishing scams, exploits, and other malicious content on the Internet. It expands the scope of Windows Defender SmartScreen to block all outbound HTTP(s) traffic that attempts to connect to low-reputation sources (based on the domain or hostname). There is a risk to application compatibility, as a result of false positives in flagged sites. Microsoft recommends deploying using the Audit / Enforce Methodology. | - - -## Behaviors - -The behaviors recommended in level 1 enforce a reasonable security level while minimizing the impact to users or to applications. - -| Feature | Config | Description | -|---------|-------------------|-------------| -| OS security updates | Deploy Windows Quality Updates within 7 days of release | As the time between the release of a patch and an exploit based on the reverse engineering of that patch continues to shrink, a critical aspect of security hygiene is having an engineering process that quickly validates and deploys Quality Updates that address security vulnerabilities. | - diff --git a/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-security-configuration-framework/level-2-enterprise-enhanced-security.md b/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-security-configuration-framework/level-2-enterprise-enhanced-security.md deleted file mode 100644 index f66320e362..0000000000 --- a/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-security-configuration-framework/level-2-enterprise-enhanced-security.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,130 +0,0 @@ ---- -title: Level 2 enterprise enhanced security configuration -description: Describes the policies, controls, and organizational behaviors for Windows security configuration framework level 2 enterprise security configuration. -keywords: virtualization, security, malware -ms.prod: w10 -ms.mktglfcycl: deploy -ms.localizationpriority: medium -ms.author: cjacks -author: appcompatguy -manager: dansimp -audience: ITPro -ms.collection: M365-security-compliance -ms.topic: conceptual -ms.date: 05/29/2019 ---- - -# Level 2 enterprise enhanced security configuration - -**Applies to** - -- Windows 10 - -Level 2 is the security configuration recommended as a standard for devices where users access more sensitive information.

This authentication consists of a new type of user credential that is tied to a device and uses a biometric or PIN. Windows Hello addresses the following problems with passwords:
    - Strong passwords can be difficult to remember, and users often reuse passwords on multiple sites.
    - Server breaches can expose symmetric network credentials (passwords).
    - Passwords are subject to replay attacks.
    - Users can inadvertently expose their passwords due to phishing attacks. | -| [Conditional Access](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/conditional-access/) | Configure and enforce Conditional Access rules based on
    - Application Risk
    - Session Risk | With conditional access, you can implement automated access control decisions for accessing your cloud apps that are based on conditions. Conditional access policies are enforced after the first-factor authentication has been completed. Therefore, conditional access is not intended as a first line defense for scenarios like denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, but can utilize signals from these events (e.g. the sign-in risk level, location of the request, and so on) to determine access. | -| [Exploit protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/exploit-protection-exploit-guard) | Enforce memory protection for OS-level controls:

    - High-entropy ASLR
    - Validate Exception Chains (SEHOP)
    - Validate heap integrity | Exploit protection helps protect devices from malware that use exploits to spread and infect to other devices. It consists of several mitigations that can be applied at either the operating system level, or at the individual app level. There is a risk to application compatibility, as some applications may rely on blocked behavior (e.g. dynamically generating code without marking memory as executable). Microsoft recommends gradually deploying this configuration using [the rings methodology](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates). | -| [Attack Surface Reduction (ASR)](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/attack-surface-reduction-exploit-guard)| Configure and enforce [Attack Surface Reduction rules](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/attack-surface-reduction-exploit-guard#attack-surface-reduction-rules)| Attack surface reduction controls help prevent actions and apps that are typically used by exploit-seeking malware to infect machines. There is a risk to application compatibility, as some applications may rely on blocked behavior (e.g. an Office application spawning a child process). Each control has an Audit mode, and as such, Microsoft recommends the Audit / Enforce Methodology (repeated here):
    1) Audit – enable the controls in audit mode, and gather audit data in a centralized location
    2) Review – review the audit data to assess potential impact (both positive and negative) and configure any exemptions from the security control you need to configure
    3) Enforce – Deploy the configuration of any exemptions and convert the control to enforce mode | -| [Controlled Folder Access (CFA)](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/enable-controlled-folders-exploit-guard) | Configure and audit [Controlled Folder Access](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/enable-controlled-folders-exploit-guard) | Controlled folder access helps you protect valuable data from malicious apps and threats, such as ransomware. Controlled folder access is supported on Windows Server 2019 as well as Windows 10 clients. Controlled folder access works best with Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection, which gives you detailed reporting into controlled folder access events and blocks as part of the usual alert investigation scenarios.
    All apps (any executable file, including .exe, .scr, .dll files and others) are assessed by Windows Defender Antivirus, which then determines if the app is malicious or safe. If the app is determined to be malicious or suspicious, then it will not be allowed to make changes to any files in any protected folder.
    Microsoft recommends the Audit / Enforce Methodology (repeated here):
    1) Audit – enable the controls in audit mode, and gather audit data in a centralized location
    2) Review – review the audit data to assess potential impact (both positive and negative) and configure any exemptions from the security control you need to configure
    3) Enforce – Deploy the configuration of any exemptions and convert the control to enforce mode - -## Behaviors - -The behaviors recommended in level 2 implement a more sophisticated security process.

Removing admin rights can be difficult, but it is essential to -achieve a level of security commensurate with the risks facing the most targeted -organizations. - -| Feature Set | Feature | Description | -|--------------|----------|--------------| -| Remove Admin Rights | Remove as many users as possible from the local Administrators group, targeting 0. Microsoft recommends removing admin rights role by role. Some roles are more challenging, including:
    - Developers, who often install rapidly iterating software which is difficult to package using current software distribution systems
    - Scientists/ Doctors, who often must install and operate specialized hardware devices
    - Remote locations with slow web links, where administration is delegated
    It is typically easier to address these roles later in the process.
    Microsoft recommends identifying the dependencies on admin rights and systematically addressing them:
    - Legitimate use of admin rights: crowdsourced admin, where a new process is needed to complete that workflow
    - Illegitimate use of admin rights: app compat dependency, where app remediation is the best path. The [Desktop App Assure](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-IT-Pro-Blog/What-is-Desktop-App-Assure/ba-p/270232) program can assist with these app issues | Running as non-admin limits your exposure. When you are an admin, every program you run has unlimited access to your computer. If malicious code finds its way to one of those programs, it also gains unlimited access. When an exploit runs with admin privileges, its ability to compromise your system is much greater, its ability to do so without detection is much greater, and its ability to attack others on your network is greater than it would be with only User privileges. If you’re running as admin, an exploit can:
    - install kernel-mode rootkits and/or keyloggers
    - install and start services
    - install ActiveX controls, including IE and shell add-ins
    - access data belonging to other users
    - cause code to run whenever anybody else logs on (including capturing passwords entered into the Ctrl-Alt-Del logon dialog)
    - replace OS and other program files with trojan horses

When hardening your deployment of Windows 10, how should you prioritize the hardware you buy, policies you enforce, controls you configure, and behavior your staff exhibit? - -Even when configuring policies, with thousands of policies available in Windows, choosing the “best” setting is difficult. It’s not always obvious which permutations of policies are required to implement a complete scenario, and there are often unintended consequences of security lockdowns. Because of this, with each release of Windows, Microsoft publishes [Windows security baselines](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-security-baselines), an industry-standard configuration that is broadly known and well-tested. However, many organizations have discovered that this baseline sets a very high bar for some scenarios. - -To help you prioritize your endpoint hardening work, Microsoft is introducing a new taxonomy for security configurations for Windows 10. In this initial preview, we are simply listing recommended hardware, policies, controls, and behaviors in order to gather feedback from more customers and security experts in order to refine the framework and prioritize opportunities to automate. - -This new security configuration framework, which we affectionately nickname the SecCon framework (remember "WarGames"?), organizes devices into one of 5 distinct security configurations. - -![SECCON Framework](images/seccon-framework.png) - -- [Level 1 enterprise basic security](level-1-enterprise-basic-security.md) – We recommend this configuration as the minimum security configuration for an enterprise device. Recommendations for this level are generally straightforward and are designed to be deployable within 30 days. -- [Level 2 enterprise enhanced security](level-2-enterprise-enhanced-security.md) – We recommend this configuration for devices where users access sensitive or confidential information. Some of the controls may have an impact to app compat, and therefore will often go through an audit-configure-enforce workflow. Recommendations for this level are generally accessible to most organizations and are designed to be deployable within 90 days. -- [Level 3 enterprise high security](level-3-enterprise-high-security.md) – We recommend this configuration for devices run by an organization with a larger or more sophisticated security team, or for specific users or groups who are at uniquely high risk (as one example, one organization identified users who handle data whose theft would directly and seriously impact their stock price). An organization likely to be targeted by well-funded and sophisticated adversaries should aspire to this configuration. Recommendations for this level can be complex (for example, removing local admin rights for some organizations can be a long project in and of itself) and can often go beyond 90 days. -- [Level 4 DevOps workstation](level-4-enterprise-devops-security.md) – We recommend this configuration for developers and testers, who are an attractive target both for supply chain attacks and access to servers and systems containing high value data or where critical business functions could be disrupted. Level 4 guidance is coming soon! -- [Level 5 administrator workstation](level-5-enterprise-administrator-security.md) – Administrators (particularly of identity or security systems) present the highest risk to the organization, through data theft, data alteration, or service disruption. Level 5 guidance is coming soon! - - -The security configuration framework divides configuration into Productivity Devices and Privileged Access Workstations. This document will focus on Productivity Devices -(Levels 1, 2, and 3). -Microsoft’s current guidance on [Privileged Access Workstations](https://aka.ms/privsec) are part of the [Securing Privileged Access roadmap](https://aka.ms/privsec). - -Microsoft recommends reviewing and categorizing your devices, and then configuring them using the prescriptive guidance for that level. -Level 1 should be considered the minimum baseline for an enterprise device, and Microsoft recommends increasing the protection based on both threat environment and risk appetite. - -## Security control classification - -The recommendations are grouped into four categories. - -| Hardware | Policies | Controls | Behaviors | -|----------|----------|----------|-----------| -| Microsoft recommends acquiring hardware that supports the specified hardware features, in order to support Windows security features | Microsoft recommends enforcing the configuration of the specified policies in the manner described, to harden Windows to the designated level of security | Microsoft recommends enabling the security controls specified in the manner described, to provide protections appropriate to the designated level of security. | Microsoft recommends changing organizational behavior towards the endpoints in the manner described. | - -## Security control deployment methodologies - -The way Microsoft recommends implementing these controls depends on the -auditability of the control–there are two primary methodologies. - -### Rings - -Security controls which don't support an audit mode should be deployed gradually. A typical deployment methodology: - -1. Test ring - deploy to a lab to validate "must test" apps prior to enforcement of any configuration -2. Pilot ring - deploy to a representative sample of 2-5% of the environment -3. Fast ring - deploy to the next 25% of the environment -4. Slow ring - deploy to the remainder of the organization - -### Audit / Enforce - -Security controls which support an audit mode can be deployed using the following methodology: - -1. Audit - enable the control in audit mode, and gather audit data in a centralized location -2. Review - review the audit data to assess potential impact (both positive and negative) and configure any exemptions from the security control you need to configure -3.
