Windows 11 systems must use either Group Policy or an approved Mobile Device Management (MDM) product to enforce STIG compliance.
Discussion
Without Windows 11 systems being managed, devices could be rogue and become targets of an attacker.
Check Procedure
Verify the Windows 11 system is receiving policy from either group Policy or an MDM with the following steps: From a command line or PowerShell: gpresult /R OS Configuration: Member Workstation If the system is not being managed by GPO, ask the administrator to indicate which MDM is managing the device. From PowerShell: Get-Service -Name "IntuneManagementExtension" If the Windows 11 system is not receiving policy from either group Policy or an MDM, this is a finding. This is NA for standalone, nondomain-joined systems.
Fix Action
Configure the Windows 11 system to use either Group Policy or an approved MDM product to enforce STIG compliance.
