The sites I see seem to be under a slightly different name

‘CIS checklist for Windows Server 2019 DC’ ?

Per the above, there should in fact be 2 sites published here. The ‘DC’ site as you reference, as well as an ‘MS’ site.

For additional context, ‘DC’ here refers to ‘Domain Controller’, and ‘MS’ refers to ‘Member Server’ (these are defined by CIS).

Hi Aram,

Sure, it’s the ‘Server’ part of the name that differs in my site view that I’m curious about.

Thanks
