Title

Windows Server 2025 local volumes must use a format that supports New Technology File System (NTFS) attributes.

Control

Open "Computer Management". Select "Disk Management" under "Storage". For each local volume, if the file system does not indicate "NTFS", this is a finding. "ReFS" (Resilient File System) is also acceptable and would not be a finding. "CSVFS" (Cluster Shared Volumes File Systems) is also acceptable and would not be a finding. This does not apply to system partitions such the Recovery and EFI System Partition.

Discussion

The ability to set access permissions and auditing is critical to maintaining the security and proper access controls of a system. To support this, volumes must be formatted using a file system that supports NTFS attributes.
