Assessment Title

Rule Text

Windows Server 2022 Access this computer from the network user right must only be assigned to the Administrators, Authenticated Users, and Enterprise Domain Controllers groups on domain controllers.

Description

Discussion Text

Inappropriate granting of user rights can provide system, administrative, and other high-level capabilities. Accounts with the "Access this computer from the network" right may access resources on the system, and this right must be limited to those requiring it.

How this relates to the STIG checklist: STIG vs SCAP benchmark.
