*Draft* What to do when getting Unknown result in Windows Assessment

Problem

Solution

Please check to make sure you are setting the recommendations under domain policy and not the local policy.

I recommend that you run presult -h on each of the systems and check against what CIS-CAT is reporting and make sure that the UI paths match.

There is a note in the BM 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
