3.121 - The system does not have a backup administrator account
Information
The built-in administrator account, as a well known account subject to attack, is disabled by default and per STIG requirements. Domain Admins on domain joined systems should provide sufficient availability for administering a system. A site with limited administrators must ensure they have a contingency for administering a non-domain system.NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
Solution
Create a contingency plan for administering a system in emergency situations.See Also
