HP SBM Security Hardening

Overview

Do not use the Security Configuration Wizard to alter the HP Survivable

Branch Communication zl Module (SBM) powered by Microsoft Lync

because certain of its actions can break the SBM functionality. To protect your

system, HP has already hardened the appropriate features at the factory

default settings.

This appendix provides a list of the security hardening actions that HP has

taken as well as of the actions that you must not take because they cause the

SBM implementation to fail.

Security Hardening at the SBM Factory

Default Settings

Table B-1 displays the settings that HP has configured on the SBM in order to

increase its security to the levels recommended by the United States Govern-

ment Configuration Baseline (USGCB). The first column lists the registry path

for the setting, and the second column lists the setting at factory defaults. A

few settings are not registry settings, so the first column lists other identifying

information.

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 itself applies several security hardening

settings. These settings are not included in the table. Refer to Microsoft for

more information.
