Have you read reports on the bug...<br><a href="https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/07/21/microsoft-sam-file-readability-cve-2021-36934-what-you-need-to-know/" rel="ugc">https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/07/21/microsoft-sam-file-readability-cve-2021-36934-what-you-need-to-know/</a><br><br>(Rapid7 is a security research outfit).<br>The mitigation section gives some hints on how you can mitigate the issue. It only needs a powershell command to be run on all systems...<br>surely that can be done without "visiting" all systems "in person"... &nbsp;if you have a huge amount of system then consider implementing computer farm management tools like puppet/ansible/...
