Problem

Info

I am getting a lot of unknown results in my Windows assessments.

Solution

Please check Check to make sure you are setting the recommendations under domain policy and not the local policypolicy is set in the correct UI.

The recommendation is to run gpresult -h on each of the systems system in questsion and check against what CIS-CAT is reporting. Make sure the UI paths in the assessor HTML report and the gpresult HTML report match.

If they do not, then follow the remediation steps in the CIS-CAT HTML report to make the UI path match.

There is a note in the Windows Benchmarks that pertains to this:

Note #2: Password Policy settings (section 1.1) and Account Lockout Policy settings (section 1.2) must be applied via the Default Domain Policy GPO in order to be globally in effect on domain user accounts as their default behavior. If these settings are configured in another GPO, they will only affect local user accounts on the computers that receive the GPO. However, custom exceptions to the default password policy and account lockout policy rules for specific domain users and/or groups can be defined using Password Settings Objects (PSOs), which are completely separate from Group Policy and most easily configured using Active Directory Administrative
