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.

Check Procedure

Open "Computer Management".

Select "Disk Management" under "Storage".

For each local volume, if the file system does not indicate "NTFS", this is a finding.

Resilient file system (ReFS) and Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) are also acceptable and are not findings. 

This does not apply to system partitions such the Recovery and EFI System Partition.

Fix Action

Format volumes to use NTFS, ReFS, or CSV.
