OPERATIONAL FLOW

Deployment Workflow

The recommended five-stage process for implementing security baselines in enterprise environments.

01
Download Baselines
Retrieve the latest Microsoft-recommended security configuration baselines from the SCT download page. Select baselines matching your target OS versions and products.
02
Analyze with Policy Analyzer
Open downloaded GPO baselines in Policy Analyzer. Compare against your current GPO environment to identify gaps, redundancies, and conflicting settings across policies.
03
Test in Isolated Environment
Use LGPO.exe to inject baseline settings directly into a test machine without a domain controller. Validate behavior before any production deployment begins.
04
Customize & Store
Modify baselines to match your organization's specific requirements. Save configurations in GPO backup format for version control and future reference or rollback.
05
Deploy via Active Directory or Local Policy
Apply finalized configurations through a domain controller for domain-joined machines, or use LGPO.exe for direct local policy application on non-domain systems.
