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, volumes must be formatted using a file system that supports NTFS attributes.

Check

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 is not a finding. CSV ( Cluster Shared Volumes) is not a finding.

This does not apply to system partitions such the Recovery and EFI System Partition.

Fix

Format volumes to use NTFS, ReFS, or CSVFS.
