Information
Credential Guard uses virtualization-based security to protect information that could be used in credential theft attacks if compromised. There are a number of system requirements that must be met in order for Credential Guard to be configured and enabled properly. Without a TPM enabled and ready for use, Credential Guard keys are stored in a less secure method using software.
Solution
For standalone systems, this is NA.
Virtualization-based security, including Credential Guard, currently cannot be implemented in virtual desktop implementations (VDI) due to specific supporting requirements including a TPM, UEFI with Secure Boot, and the capability to run the Hyper-V feature within the virtual desktop.
For VDIs where the virtual desktop instance is deleted or refreshed upon logoff, this is NA.
Ensure domain-joined systems must have a TPM that is configured for use. (Versions 2.0 support Credential Guard.)
The TPM must be enabled in the firmware.
Run 'tpm.msc' for configuration options in Windows.
