Configuration of whitelisting applications will vary by the program.

AppLocker is a whitelisting application built into Windows Server 2012.  A deny-by-default implementation is initiated by enabling any AppLocker rules within a category, only allowing what is specified by defined rules.

If AppLocker is used, perform the following to view the configuration of AppLocker:

Open PowerShell.

If the AppLocker PowerShell module has not been previously imported, execute the following first:

Import-Module AppLocker

Execute the following command, substituting [c:\temp\file.xml] with a location and file name appropriate for the system:

Get-AppLockerPolicy -Effective -XML &gt; c:\temp\file.xml

This will produce an xml file with the effective settings that can be viewed in a browser or opened in a program such as Excel for review.

Enter "Search-ADAccount -AccountExpiring -TimeSpan 3:00:00:00 | FT Name, AccountExpirationDate"

This will return any accounts configured to expire within the next 3 days.  (The "TimeSpan" value to can be changed to find accounts configured to expire at various times such as 30 for the next month.)

If any accounts identified as emergency administrator accounts are not listed, this is a finding.

For any emergency administrator accounts returned by the previous query:

Enter "Get-ADUser -Identity [Name] -Property WhenCreated" to determine when the account was created.

If the "WhenCreated" date and "AccountExpirationDate" from the previous query are greater than 3 days apart, this is a finding.

Member servers and standalone systems:

Enter "Net User [username]", where [username] is the name of the emergency administrator accounts.

If "Account expires" has not been defined within 72 hours for any emergency administrator accounts, this is a finding.

If the "Password last set" date and "Account expires" date are greater than 72 hours apart, this is a finding. (Net User does not provide an account creation date.)</rawString>
