NISPOM Chapter 8 guidance for Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7
Does anyone have any experience securing a Windows Server 2008 domain with Windows 7 workstations to NISPOM chapter 8 requirements? I am looking for maybe a .inf file to import into a GPO, or something similar to the NISP Tool. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Oops, my bad. The PKI is only required for the FOUO version. Thanks, and just in case you didn't know it does come with the .inf files. PERFECT!
My usual tactic was to run a Gold Disk Scan and build up an INF to address the findings that popped up. The infs that come with it are for scanning and comparing existing configurations only. They actually direct you to *not* apply them because doing so can destroy your network in many situations, so use those with caution.

Hmmm, ok, I guess I will still need that gold disk. Thanks for the advice.
Yeah. Gold Disk is very important for hardening your servers for accreditation. It's what the auditors use for determining compliance to NISPOM guidance (I used to be one of those guys) so it will help you a lot.
