WN25-DC-000010 - Windows Server 2025 must only allow administrators responsible for the domain controller to have Administrator rights on the system.
Information
An account that does not have Administrator duties must not have Administrator rights. Such rights would allow the account to bypass or modify required security restrictions on that machine and make it vulnerable to attack.System administrators must log on to systems using only accounts with the minimum level of authority necessary.
Standard user accounts must not be members of the built-in Administrators group.
Solution
Configure the Administrators group to include only administrator groups or accounts that are responsible for the system.Remove any standard user accounts.
