Pre-Windows 2000 Compatability Group


i find confusing , finding mixed responses ever search. i run openvas internal vulnerability scanner on network.  on domain controllers high vulnerability keeps getting reported for  use ldap search request retrieve information nt directory services the fix remove group pre-windows 2000 compatability group when i don't have members in pre windows 2000 group.  there should configuring different not come on scans?

i installed 'windows server 2012 r2 (with update)" scratch. created new forest , can tell default, pre win2k group has "authenticated users" within. ran ldp.exe , connected anonymously , bit of data:

perhaps talking about, in case, you're @ least in company (it's default).

rootdse allows anonymous bind, in turn reveals information, , according to this , there no way prevent that. if able query other partitions anonymously, you'll want investigate permissions on tree.

note cannot query other stuff, able when authenticated:

finally, may want ensure returns null value:

get-adobject 'cn=directory service,cn=windows nt,cn=services,cn=configuration,dc=contoso,dc=com' -properties dsheuristics | select dsheuristics

if have 0000002, means configured accept anonymous requests well.
