Vulnerability V-254428

This applies to member servers and standalone or nondomain-joined systems. A separate version applies to domain controllers. Open "Computer Management". Navigate to "Groups" under "Local Users and Groups". Review the local "Administrators" group. Only administrator groups or accounts responsible for administration of the system may be members of the group. For domain-joined member servers, the Domain Admins group must be replaced by a domain member server administrator group. Standard user accounts must not be members of the local Administrator group. If accounts that do not have responsibility for administration of the system are members of the local Administrators group, this is a finding. If the built-in Administrator account or other required administrative accounts are found on the system, this is not a finding.

Configure the local "Administrators" group to include only administrator groups or accounts responsible for administration of the system. For domain-joined member servers, replace the Domain Admins group with a domain member server administrator group. Remove any standard user accounts.
