if (Test-Path -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LDAP\LDAPClientIntegrity" -and (Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LDAP\LDAPClientIntegrity" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).value -ge 1) { Write-Output "PASS"; Exit 0 } else { Write-Output "FAIL"; Exit 1 }

Remediation

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options -> “Network security: LDAP client signing requirements” to “Negotiate signing” at a minimum.
