Assessment Script Powered by AISyntax-verified

A standalone PowerShell script to assess this control automatically. Review before running it in your environment.

Syntax-checked as valid PowerShell. Not executed here — running it for real needs the actual ms_windows_10 target this check assesses.

# OVAL Definition: oval:mil.disa.stig.windows10:def:220708
$localVolumes = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DriveType=3 AND FileSystem='NTFS'"
if ($localVolumes.Count -eq 0) { Write-Output "FAIL"; exit 1 } else { Write-Output "PASS"; exit 0 }

Remediation

Format all local volumes to use NTFS.
