2.006 - ACLS FOR SYSTEM FILES AND DIRECTORIES DO NOT CONFORM TO MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. - 'C:\Windows'

Information

Failure to properly configure file and directory permissions (ACLs) allows the possibility of unauthorized and anonymous modification to the operating system and installed applications.

Solution

Maintain the default file ACLs, configure the Security Option- 'Network access- Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous users' to 'Disabled' (V-3377) and restrict the Power Users group to include no members.
