WN16-00-000300 - The roles and features required by the system must be documented.
Information
Unnecessary roles and features increase the attack surface of a system. Limiting roles and features of a system to only those necessary reduces this potential. The standard installation option (previously called Server Core) further reduces this when selected at installation.NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
Solution
Document the roles and features required for the system to operate. Uninstall any that are not required.See Also
