As part of our companies security compliance policy - each new/upgraded windows server must be built as per our security policy document . This includes gpo's , disk type &nbsp;, net configuration , services ,etc &nbsp;.<br />
Due to the myriad amount of gpo's that are enforced , is there a way of pointing Nessus to a server and getting it to check each security setting ? As opposed to manually checking each part of the policy using 'rsop' or 'secpol' ?<br />
I have '.inf' files of every gpo - can anyone advise of an easy way of putting this into Nessus ?<br />
TIA
