WN10-UR-000075 - The 'Deny log on as a batch job' user right on domain-joined workstations must be configured to prevent access from highly privileged domain accounts.

Information

Inappropriate granting of user rights can provide system, administrative, and other high-level capabilities.

The 'Deny log on as a batch job' right defines accounts that are prevented from logging on to the system as a batch job, such as Task Scheduler.

In an Active Directory Domain, denying logons to the Enterprise Admins and Domain Admins groups on lower-trust systems helps mitigate the risk of privilege escalation from credential theft attacks that could lead to the compromise of an entire domain.

Solution

This requirement is applicable to domain-joined systems. For standalone or nondomain-joined systems, this is NA.

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Local Policies >> User Rights Assignment >> 'Deny log on as a batch job' to include the following:

Domain Systems Only:
Enterprise Admin Group
Domain Admin Group
