## Deployment
-Windows 10 S mode is built for [Modern Management](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/manage-windows-10-in-your-organization-modern-management) which means using [Windows Auto Pilot](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/windows-autopilot/windows-10-autopilot). The best way to start using an S mode device is to embrace Modern Management fully when designing the deployment plan. Windows Auto Pilot allows you to deploy the deivce directly to the employee without having to touch the physical device. Instead of manually deploying a custom image to a machine, Windows Auto Pilot will start with a generic PC that can only be used to join the company domain; Polices are then deployed automatically through Modern Device Management.

Device Health is the newest Windows Analytics solution that complements the existing Upgrade Readiness and Update Compliance solutions by providing IT with reports on some common problems the end users might experience so they can be proactively remediated, thus saving support calls and improving end-user productivity.

Updating firmware (such as the BIOS) and installing hardware drivers is a somewhat advanced task. Do not attempt to update BIOS if you aren't familiar with BIOS settings or are not sure how to restore the previous BIOS version if there are problems. Most BIOS updates are provided as a "flash" update. Your manufacturer might provide a tool to perform the update, or you might be required to enter the BIOS and update it manually. Be sure to save your working BIOS settings, since some updates can reset your configuration and make the computer fail to boot if (for example) a RAID configuration is changed.

For example, Microsoft Surface device drivers can be obtained at: [Download the latest firmware and drivers for Surface devices](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/deploy-the-latest-firmware-and-drivers-for-surface-devices).

Note: If your device allows it, you can use an external USB drive for the upgrade process. Windows setup will back up the previous version of Windows to a USB external drive. The external drive must be at least 8GB (16GB is recommended). The external drive should be formatted using NTFS. Drives that are formatted in FAT32 may run into errors due to FAT32 file size limitations. USB drives are preferred over SD cards because drivers for SD cards are not migrated if the device does not support Connected Standby.

Scenarios that support in-place upgrade with some additional procedures include changing from BIOS to UEFI boot mode and upgrade of devices that use non-Microsoft disk encryption software.
-- **Legacy BIOS to UEFI booting**: To perform an in-place upgrade on a UEFI-capable system that currently boots using legacy BIOS, first perform the in-place upgrade to Windows 10, maintaining the legacy BIOS boot mode. Windows 10 does not require UEFI, so it will work fine to upgrade a system using legacy BIOS emulation. After the upgrade, if you wish to enable Windows 10 features that require UEFI (such as Secure Boot), you can convert the system disk to a format that supports UEFI boot using the [MBR2GPT](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/mbr-to-gpt) tool.

-- Ensure that the users who will be performing user-driven mode deployments are able to join devices to Azure Active Directory. See [Configure device settings](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/device-management-azure-portal#configure-device-settings) in the Azure Active Directory documentation for more information.

- Create an Autopilot profile for user-driven mode with the desired settings. In Microsoft Intune, this mode is explicitly chosen when creating the profile. With Microsoft Store for Business and Partner Center, user-driven mode is the default and does not need to be selected.
- If using Intune, create a device group in Azure Active Directory and assign the Autopilot profile to that group.

## Is Windows Hello for Business multifactor authentication?
Windows Hello for Business is two-factor authentication based 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?

Also, develop an Active Directory auditing policy ([SACL](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/aa374872(v=vs.85).aspx) design for specific classes, operation types which need to be monitored for specific Organizational Units, and so on) so you can audit only the access attempts that are made to specific important objects.
This subcategory doesn’t have Failure events, so there is no recommendation to enable Failure auditing for this subcategory. |

**Create a token object | Allows a process to create a token which it can then use to get access to any local resources when the process uses NtCreateToken() or other token-creation APIs.
When a process requires this privilege, we recommend using the LocalSystem account (which already includes the privilege), rather than creating a separate user account and assigning this privilege to it. |
| Audit Sensitive Privilege Use | **SeDebugPrivilege:
**Debug programs | Required to debug and adjust the memory of a process owned by another account.
With this privilege, the user can attach a debugger to any process or to the kernel. Developers who are debugging their own applications do not need this user right. Developers who are debugging new system components need this user right.
This user right provides complete access to sensitive and critical operating system components. |
| Audit Sensitive Privilege Use | **SeImpersonatePrivilege:
**Impersonate a client after authentication | With this privilege, the user can impersonate other accounts. |

***Event Description:***
-This event generates when [token privileges](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa446619(v=vs.85).aspx) were enabled or disabled for a specific account’s token. As of Windows 10, event 4703 is also logged by applications or services that dynamically adjust token privileges. An example of such an application is System Center Configuration Manager, which makes WMI queries at recurring intervals and quickly generates a large number of 4703 events (with the WMI activity listed as coming from svchost.exe). If you are using an application or system service that makes changes to system privileges through the AdjustPrivilegesToken API, you might need to disable Success auditing for this subcategory (Audit Authorization Policy Change), or work with a very high volume of event 4703.

***Important*:** If you manually change any user-related setting or attribute, for example if you set the SMARTCARD\_REQUIRED flag in **userAccountControl** for the computer account, then the **sAMAccountType** of the computer account will be changed to NORMAL\_USER\_ACCOUNT and you will get “[4738](event-4738.md): A user account was changed” instead of 4742 for this computer account. Essentially, the computer account will “become” a user account. For NORMAL\_USER\_ACCOUNT you will always get events from [Audit User Account Management](audit-user-account-management.md) subcategory. We strongly recommend that you avoid changing any user-related settings manually for computer objects.

Code Integrity is a feature that improves the security of the operating system by validating the integrity of a driver or system file each time it is loaded into memory. Code Integrity detects whether an unsigned driver or system file is being loaded into the kernel, or whether a system file has been modified by malicious software that is being run by a user account with administrative permissions. On x64-based versions of the operating system, kernel-mode drivers must be digitally signed.

# WannaCrypt ransomware worm targets out-of-date systems
-On May 12, 2017 we detected a new ransomware that spreads like a worm by leveraging vulnerabilities that have been previously fixed. While security updates are automatically applied in most computers, some users and enterprises may delay deployment of patches. Unfortunately, the ransomware, known as [WannaCrypt](https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Ransom:Win32/WannaCrypt), appears to have affected computers that have not applied the patch for these vulnerabilities. While the attack is unfolding, we remind users to install [MS17-010](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms17-010.aspx) if they have not already done so.

In this blog, we provide an early analysis of the end-to-end ransomware attack. Please note this threat is still under investigation. The attack is still active, and there is a possibility that the attacker will attempt to react to our detection response.
## Attack vector
-Ransomware threats do not typically spread rapidly. Threats like WannaCrypt (also known as WannaCry, WanaCrypt0r, WCrypt, or WCRY) usually leverage social engineering or email as primary attack vector, relying on users downloading and executing a malicious payload. However, in this unique case, the ransomware perpetrators used publicly available exploit code for the patched SMB 'EternalBlue' vulnerability, [CVE-2017-0145](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-0145), which can be triggered by sending a specially crafted packet to a targeted SMBv1 server. This vulnerability was fixed in security bulletin [MS17-010](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms17-010.aspx), which was released on March 14, 2017.
