Information
Security configuration tools, such as Security Templates and Group Policy, allow system administrators to consolidate all security-related system settings into a single configuration file. These settings can then be applied consistently to any number of Windows machines. The Security Configuration tools can use the same configuration file to check platforms for compliance with security policy.NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
Solution
Security configuration tools or equivalent should be used to configure Windows systems to meet security requirements.See Also
