Security Baseline 23H2 issue with Hardened UNC Paths
I am testing the 23H2 Security Baseline and ran the CIS Benchmark assessment. A setting that previously passed with the November 2021 baseline is now failing. It is the Hardened UNC Paths under Administrative Templates – Network – Network Provider. The attached screenshot named Hardened UNC Paths…png shows the setting configured in the baseline. The screenshot named Registry.png shows the registry after the baseline is applied.
The entry for \*SYSVOL does not show up and the entry for \*NETLOGON is wrong. When adding the entry to the registry for this setting, Microsoft swapped the Name and Data values.
The screenshot Registry from Nov 2021 baseline.png is what it should look like and this passes the CIS Benchmark assessment.
Can anyone else confirm this? I plan to open a ticket for this issue.
