    <title>Virtualize file and registry write failures to per-user locations</title>
    <description>This security setting enables the redirection of application write failures to defined locations in both the registry and file system. This feature mitigates those applications that historically ran as administrator and wrote runtime application data to protected locations (%ProgramFiles%, %Windir%, %Windir%\system32, or HKLM\Software\...). Virtualization facilitates the running of applications that historically failed to run as standard user because of application write failures.</description>

    <title>MSS: (SafeDllSearchMode) Enable Safe DLL search mode (recommended)</title>
    <description>Most programs on the Windows platform make use of various Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL) to avoid having to reimplement functionality. The operating system actually loads several DLLs for each program, depending on what type of program it is. When the program does not specify an absolute location for a DLL, the default search order is used to locate it. By default, the search order used by the operating system is as follows: 1. Memory 2. KnownDLLs 3. Manifests and .local 4. Application directory 5. Current working directory 6. System directories (%systemroot%, %systemroot%\system, and %systemroot%\system32) 7. The path variable The fact that the current working directory is searched before the system directories can be used by someone with access to the file system to cause a program launched by a user to load a spoofed DLL. If a user launches a program by double-clicking a document, the current working directory is actually the location of the document. If a DLL in    that directory has the same name as a system DLL in that location will then be loaded instead of the system DLL. This attack vector was actually used by the Nimda virus. To combat this, a new setting was created in Service Pack 3, which moves the current working directory to after the system directories in the search order. To avoid application compatibility issues, however, this switch was not turned on by default. To turn it on, set the following registry valueMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SafeDllSearchMode</description>

In turn, the action you apply help other members choose how to respond. Your actions also help Microsoft choose which software to investigate for potential threats. You can choose to send basic or additional information about detected software. Additional information helps improve how Windows Defender works. It can include, for example, the location of detected items on your computer if harmful software has been removed. Windows Defender will automatically collect and send the information.</description>

If Remote Desktop Services for remote administration is necessary, enabling this would not be a finding. Restricted Admin mode must be used.  This must be document with the ISSO.
See Microsoft article KB2871997 for patches required to add this function to systems prior to Windows 8.1.

Restricted Admin mode for Remote Desktop Connections can be implemented for each session using a command line switch to start the Remote Desktop Client or through a group policy to enable it for all sessions.

The command line to do this is "mstsc /restrictedadmin".

To enable this with group policy, configure the policy value for Computer Configuration &gt;&gt; Administrative Templates &gt;&gt; System &gt;&gt; Credentials Delegation &gt;&gt; "Restrict delegation of credentials to remote servers" to "Enabled".</fixtext>

See Microsoft article KB2871997 for patches required to add this function to systems prior to Windows 8.1.

Restricted Admin mode for Remote Desktop Connections can be implemented for each session using a command line switch to start the Remote Desktop Client or through a group policy to enable it for all sessions.

The command line to do this is "mstsc /restrictedadmin".

To enable this with group policy, configure the policy value for Computer Configuration &gt;&gt; Administrative Templates &gt;&gt; System &gt;&gt; Credentials Delegation &gt;&gt; "Restrict delegation of credentials to remote servers" to "Enabled".</fixtext>

      <title>Command line data must be included in process creation events.</title>
      <description>&lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Maintaining an audit trail of system activity logs can help identify configuration errors, troubleshoot service disruptions, and analyze compromises that have occurred, as well as detect attacks. Audit logs are necessary to provide a trail of evidence in case the system or network is compromised. Collecting this data is essential for analyzing the security of information assets and detecting signs of suspicious and unexpected behavior.

Enabling "Include command line data for process creation events" will record the command line information with the process creation events in the log.  This can provide additional detail when malware has run on a system.&lt;/VulnDiscussion&gt;&lt;FalsePositives&gt;&lt;/FalsePositives&gt;&lt;FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;/FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;Documentable&gt;false&lt;/Documentable&gt;&lt;Mitigations&gt;&lt;/Mitigations&gt;&lt;SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;/SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;/PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;/ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;MitigationControl&gt;&lt;/MitigationControl&gt;&lt;Responsibility&gt;&lt;/Responsibility&gt;&lt;IAControls&gt;&lt;/IAControls&gt;</description>
