SecurityPolicy - PowerShell Module

Description

Installing

Install-Module -Name SecurityPolicy -AllowClobber -Force

Force and AllowClobber aren't necessary but they do skip errors in case some appear.

Updating

Update-Module -Name SecurityPolicy

That's it. Whenever there's a new version you simply run the command and you can enjoy it. Remember, that you may need to close, reopen the PowerShell session if you have already used the module before updating it.

The important thing is if something works for you on production, keep using it till you test the new version on a test computer. I do changes that may not be big, but big enough that auto-update will break your code. For example, small rename to a parameter and your code stops working! Be responsible!

Using SecurityPolicy

Getting and setting Security Policies

$SecurityPolicies = Get-SecurityPolicy -Verbose -All
# $SecurityPolicies | Format-Table

$SecurityPolicies.'Unicode' | Format-Table
$SecurityPolicies.'System Access' | Format-Table
# $SecurityPolicies.'Event Audit' | Format-Table
# $SecurityPolicies.'Registry Values' | Format-Table
# $SecurityPolicies.'Privilege Rights' | Format-Table
# $SecurityPolicies.'Version' | Format-Table

Set-SecurityPolicy -SystemAccess MinimumPasswordAge -Value 1

Getting and setting User Rights Assignment

Adding and removing UserRightsAssignment can be done using Add-UserRightsAssignment and Remove-UserRightsAssignment.

$Output = Get-UserRightsAssignment -UserRightsAssignment SeTrustedCredManAccessPrivilege #-Computer AD1
$Output | Format-Table

Remove-UserRightsAssignment -UserRightsAssignment SeTrustedCredManAccessPrivilege -Identity "S-1-5-21-853615985-2870445339-3163598659-4098"

$Output = Get-UserRightsAssignment -UserRightsAssignment SeTrustedCredManAccessPrivilege #-Computer AD1
$Output | Format-Table

$Output = Get-UserRightsAssignment -UserRightsAssignment SeBackupPrivilege #-Computer AD1
$Output | Format-Table

Add-UserRightsAssignment -UserRightsAssignment SeBackupPrivilege -Identity "Evotec\Administrator"

$Output = Get-UserRightsAssignment -UserRightsAssignment SeBackupPrivilege #-Computer AD1
$Output | Format-Table

Remove-UserRightsAssignment -UserRightsAssignment SeBackupPrivilege -Identity "Evotec\Administrator"

$Output = Get-UserRightsAssignment -UserRightsAssignment SeBackupPrivilege #-Computer AD1
$Output | Format-Table

Or you can use Set-UserRightsAssignment which will add and remove identities for you in one command.

$Output = Get-UserRightsAssignment -UserRightsAssignment SeBackupPrivilege #-Computer AD1
$Output | Format-Table

$Identity = @(
    'BUILTIN\Backup Operators'
    'BUILTIN\Administrators'
    'Guest'
    #'BUILTIN\Users'
    #'przemyslaw.klys'
)

Set-UserRightsAssignment -UserRightsAssignment SeBackupPrivilege -Identity $Identity -WhatIf #-Computer AD1

$Output = Get-UserRightsAssignment -UserRightsAssignment SeBackupPrivilege #-Computer AD1
$Output | Format-Table
