Solution

Search through the benchmark for the remediation that is causing the impact.

Through searching keywords, you should find which recommendations are causing the issue and then reverse the remediation directions to turn the recommendation off.

For example, if you are using Windows 2016 Server and you are having an issue with the RDP configuration, you should:

1. Login to CIS WorkBench - https://workbench.cisecurity.org/

2. Go to Benchmarks on the top Navigation bar

3. Search for Windows Server 2016

4. Download the PDF version of the Benchmark

5. Search for the word ‘RDP’ or other related words such as 'remote connection' using ctr+f

6. Go to the recommendations related to RDP and remote connections

7. Recommendation 18.9.59.3.9.3 (L1) Ensure 'Require use of specific security layer for remote (RDP) connections' is set to 'Enabled: SSL' (Automated) Relates to RDP.

8. Read the recommendation

9. Under the Remediation section, there is an explanation of how to enable or disable the recommendation.

10. Rinse and repeat for each issue you are having.
