STIG ID: WN11-00-000085  |  SRG: SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227 |  Severity: low (CAT III)  |  CCI: CCI-000366 |  Vulnerability Id: V-253272

Vulnerability Discussion

To minimize potential points of attack, local user accounts, other than built-in accounts and local administrator accounts, must not exist on a workstation in a domain. Users must log on to workstations in a domain with their domain accounts.

Check

Run "Computer Management".

Navigate to System Tools >> Local Users and Groups >> Users.

If local users other than the accounts listed below exist on a workstation in a domain, this is a finding.

The accounts listed assumes a system is joined to a domain and thus (per best practice), the local default accounts have been disabled.

For standalone or nondomain-joined systems, this is Not Applicable.

Built-in administrator account (Disabled, SID ending in 500)
Built-in guest account (Disabled, SID ending in 501)
Built-in DefaultAccount (Disabled, SID ending in 503)
Built-in defaultuser0 (Disabled, *SID unique per workstation)
Built-in WDAGUtilityAccount (Disabled, SID ending in 504)
Local administrator account(s)
* Note that the SID for defaultuser0 is machine-specific and immutable (cannot be changed). It will differ per Windows installation.

All of the built-in accounts may not exist on a system, depending on the Windows 11 version.

Fix

Limit local user accounts on domain-joined systems. Remove any unauthorized local accounts.
