These new settings can be found under Account Policies\Password Policy. With Windows 10, version 2004, two new security settings have been added for password policies: ‘Minimum password length audit’ and ‘ Relax minimum password length limits’. We continue to invest in improving this experience. In the Windsecurity baselines we announced the removal of the account password expiration policy. If you chose to enable this setting, we recommend throttling the deployment to ensure you measure the impact on your users’ machines.

The scenarios where performance might be impacted would be new executable content being generated (for example, developers) or where you frequently install or update applications.īecause this setting is less helpful for customers who are not using Microsoft Defender ATP, we have not added it to the baseline, but we felt it was potentially impactful enough to call out. This can have a performance cost but we are trying to keep it to a minimum by only generating hashes on first sight.

This new feature forces the engine to compute the full file hash for all executable files that are scanned. You should consider using this feature to improve blocking for custom indicators in Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (Microsoft Defender ATP). You can find this new setting here: Computer Configurations\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Defender Antivirus\MpEngine\Enable file hash computation feature. As part of this journey we have added a new setting to compute file hashes for every executable file that is scanned, if it wasn’t previously computed.
Microsoft Defender Antivirus continues to enable new features to better protect consumers and enterprises alike.

(We assume that, as security conscious baselines users, you are patching!) Details of that patch are here. Note: this new policy requires the Masecurity update. The new setting location is: Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Domain controller: LDAP server channel binding token requirements. The value will remain the same in our baseline, but the setting has moved to the new location. An announcement was made in March of this year and now all supported Active Directory domain controllers can configure this policy. This setting is now provided as part of Windows and no longer requires a custom ADMX. In the Windows Server, version 1809 Domain Controller baseline, we created and enabled a new custom MS Security Guide setting called Extended Protection for LDAP Authentication (Domain Controllers only) based on the values provided here.
Only one new policy meets the criteria for inclusion in the security baseline (described below), but there are two other policies we want to highlight for your consideration. This Windows 10 feature update brings very few new policy settings, which we list in the accompanying documentation.
Please download the draft baseline (attached to this post), evaluate the proposed baselines, and leave us your comments/feedback below. Microsoft is pleased to announce the draft release of the security configuration baseline settings for Windows 10 and Windows Server, version 2004.
