Problem
| Info |
|---|
The Centralized Scanning method using CIS-CAT Pro Assessor v4 is taking a long time to complete an assessment. Or I am unable to successfully get the Centralized Scanning method to work due to permissions issues. Or Is there a method of getting the Assessor to work using the local SYSTEM account? We do not want to have to resort to using a service account to run this. Or I would like to scan many thousands of targets using CIS-CAT Pro Assessor v4. |
Solution
There is an alternative Centralized Scanning method developed by a power user which uses the SYSTEM account. This method builds CIS CAT into a package which can be used to scan multiple assets in an ephemeral state. This is done using the SYSTEM account. Members have reported improved scanning times.
