Rule Text

Internet Information System (IIS) or its subcomponents are installed on a workstation.

Description

Discussion Text

This is a Category 1 finding because not removing these services may allow unauthorized internet services to be hosted. Web sites should only be hosted on servers that have been designed for that purpose and can be adequately secured.

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 windows_vista target this check assesses.

# OVAL Definition: oval:mil.disa.fso.windows:def:3864
$iisServiceCheck = Test-Path -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3Svc'
if ($iisServiceCheck -eq $false) { Write-Output "PASS"; exit 0 } else { Write-Output "FAIL"; exit 1 }
