Info

Joining Level 1 Windows Server Hardened Image to Domain

Solution

In our testing, we were able to successfully join a CIS Windows Server 2016 L1 image to a domain and update the computer and user policies without issue. We would recommend blocking inheritance on the OU the server is in then test again. This will prevent from domain wide policies being applied to the instance that may be conflicting with locally set policies.

Note

Please note, CIS Hardened Images are configured using local group policy. If your intention is to use these images in a domain environment where policies are managed globally, the majority of our security settings will be changed and managed by your domain policies.
