Title

Systems must be maintained at a supported service pack level. (Cat I impact)

Discussion

Systems at unsupported service packs or releases will not receive security updates for new vulnerabilities, which leave them subject to exploitation. Systems must be maintained at a service pack level supported by the vendor with new security updates.

Check Content

Run "winver.exe". If the "About Windows" dialog box does not display "Microsoft Windows Server Version 6.2 (Build 9200)" or greater, this is a finding. No preview versions will be used in a production environment. Unsupported Service Packs/Releases: Windows 2012 - any release candidates or versions prior to the initial release.

Fix Text

Update the system to a supported release or service pack level.
