Title

Local volumes must use a format that supports NTFS attributes. (Cat I impact)

Discussion

The ability to set access permissions and auditing is critical to maintaining the security and proper access controls of a system. To support this, local volumes must be formatted using a file system that supports NTFS attributes.

Check Content

Open "Computer Management". Select "Disk Management" under "Storage". For each local volume, if the file system does not indicate "NTFS", this is a finding. "ReFS" (Resilient File System) is also acceptable and would not be a finding. “CSV” (Cluster Share Volumes) is also acceptable and would not be a finding. This does not apply to system partitions such as the Recovery and EFI System Partition.

Fix Text

Format local volumes to use NTFS or ReFS.
