This security setting determines which accounts can use a process with Write Property access to another process to increase the execution priority assigned to the other process. A user with this privilege can change the scheduling priority of a process through the Task Manager user interface.
Default:
Administrators.
Counter Measure:
Verify that only Administrators have the Increase scheduling priority user right assigned to them.
Potential Impact:
None. This is the default configuration.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Increase scheduling priority
(2) REG: ###
(3) WMI: root\rsop\computer#RSOP_UserPrivilegeRight#AccountList#UserRight='SeIncreaseBasePriorityPrivilege' and precedence=1
