WN19-00-000010 - Windows Server 2019 users with Administrative privileges must have separate accounts for administrative duties and normal operational tasks.

Information

Using a privileged account to perform routine functions makes the computer vulnerable to malicious software inadvertently introduced during a session that has been granted full privileges.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Ensure each user with administrative privileges has a separate account for user duties and one for privileged duties.
