Check Text

This applies to domain controllers. It is NA for other systems. Open a command prompt. Run "net share". Make note of the directory location of the SYSVOL share. By default, this will be \Windows\SYSVOL\sysvol. For this requirement, permissions will be verified at the first SYSVOL directory level. If any standard user accounts or groups have greater than "Read & execute" permissions, this is a finding. The default permissions noted below meet this requirement. Open "Command Prompt". Run "icacls c:\Windows\SYSVOL". The following results should be displayed: NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:(RX) NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:(OI)(CI)(IO)(GR,GE) BUILTIN\Server Operators:(RX) BUILTIN\Server Operators:(OI)(CI)(IO)(GR,GE) BUILTIN\Administrators:(M,WDAC,WO) BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F) NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(F) NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F) BUILTIN\Administrators:(M,WDAC,WO) CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F) (RX) - Read & execute Run "icacls /help" to view definitions of other permission codes.
