User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account

ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:35276Date: (C)2016-06-10   (M)2023-12-13
Class: COMPLIANCEFamily: windows




This policy setting controls the behavior of Admin Approval Mode for the built-in Administrator account. The options are: * Enabled: The built-in Administrator account uses Admin Approval Mode. By default, any operation that requires elevation of privilege will prompt the user to approve the operation. * Disabled: (Default) The built-in Administrator account runs all applications with full administrative privilege. Counter Measure: Enable the User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account setting if you have the built-in Administrator account enabled. Potential Impact: Users that log on using the local Administrator account will be prompted for consent whenever a program requests an elevation in privilege. Fix: (1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account (2) REG: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System!FilterAdministratorToken
