Forum Post
Active Directory Hardening
Somewhere along the way, while trying to "harden" a bunch of servers using a GPO that i built, one of the servers has a little hick-up.
In the security tab of any folder on this Server 2012 R2 server, the top section has a "UAC" icon as part of the "Edit" button, but the bottom part doesn't have the "UAC" icon as part of the "Advanced" button.
Other servers do not have the "UAC" icon and that's the way I want it for both.
Why is one server getting it and any way to reset all the setting on the server? Seems even if I pull the server out of the GPO and reboot, it doesn't fix this issue.
Thoughts?
Why 1 server out of 5 that are getting the hardening GPO? This was one of the original 2 servers to initially get it but the other one doesn't have the issues [like the other added after].
Note that while I know GPO stuff I am not an expert.
Thanks
