Title

Windows Server 2022 users with Administrative privileges must have separate accounts for administrative duties and normal operational tasks.

Control

Verify each user with administrative privileges has been assigned a unique administrative account separate from their standard user account. If users with administrative privileges do not have separate accounts for administrative functions and standard user functions, this is a finding.

Discussion

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.

Fix

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