Product:
IBM BigFix Compliance

Title:
Updated CIS Checklist for Windows 2012 R2 MS to fix relevance issue.

Security Benchmark:
CIS Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 MS Benchmark, V2.2.0

Published Sites:
CIS Checklist for Windows 2012 R2 MS, site version 6
(The site version is provided for air-gap customers.)

Details:
Fixed and improved implementation for the following check:

· xccdf_org.cisecurity.benchmarks_rule_2.2.2_L1_Configure_Access_this_computer_from_the_network.

Previously the relevance matched “Administrators” or “Remote Desktop Users” as required setting for ‘Access this computer from the network’ in the group policy instead of “Administrators” or “Authenticated Users”. The relevance is fixed by replacing “Remote Desktop Users” with “Authenticated Users”.
