Problem
| Info |
|---|
The group policy that is intended to remediate the security concerns for the Administrative Templates (User) section as reported by CIS-CAT do not appear to update unless the CIS-CAT service account (ad\sa-ciscat) has been logged onto the server directly, then had the group policy apply (gpupdate /force) and then the CIS-CAT collection run again. Is there any way to avoid having to go through the process of signing into each and every server with the service account to have these remediations reflect in the CIS-CAT report? |

So you You won’t get updated in any of the hives (which is what Assessor actually looks at) until one of those users logs on
