This will return a list of local accounts with the account name, last logon, and if the account is enabled (True/False).
For example: User1 10/31/2015 5:49:56 AM True
 
Domain Controllers:
Enter the following command in PowerShell.
"Search-ADAccount -AccountInactive -UsersOnly -TimeSpan 35.00:00:00"
 
This will return accounts that have not been logged on to for 35 days, along with various attributes such as the Enabled status and LastLogonDate.
 
Review the list of accounts returned by the above queries to determine the finding validity for each account reported.
 
Exclude the following accounts:
Built-in administrator account (Renamed, SID ending in 500)
Built-in guest account (Renamed, Disabled, SID ending in 501)
Application accounts
 
If any enabled accounts have not been logged on to within the past 35 days, this is a finding.

The organization must have a policy that prohibits administrative accounts from using applications that access the Internet, such as web browsers, or with potential Internet sources, such as email, except as necessary for local service administration. The policy should define specific exceptions for local service administration. These exceptions may include HTTP(S)-based tools that are used for the administration of the local system, services, or attached devices.

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.

Emergency administrator accounts are different from infrequently used accounts (i.e., local logon accounts used by system administrators when network or normal logon/access is not available). Infrequently used accounts are not subject to automatic termination dates. Emergency accounts are accounts created in response to crisis situations, usually for use by maintenance personnel. The automatic expiration or disabling time period may be extended as needed until the crisis is resolved; however, it must not be extended indefinitely.
