Windows Server 2019 must be configured to enable Remote host allows delegation of non-exportable credentials.

Rule version WN19-CC-000100 · STIG v3 · 2026-02-12

Discussion

An exportable version of credentials is provided to remote hosts when using credential delegation which exposes them to theft on the remote host. Restricted Admin mode or Remote Credential Guard allow delegation of non-exportable credentials providing additional protection of the credentials. Enabling this configures the host to support Restricted Admin mode or Remote Credential Guard.

Check

If the following registry value does not exist or is not configured as specified, this is a finding:

Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Path: \SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CredentialsDelegation\

Value Name: AllowProtectedCreds

Type: REG_DWORD Value: 0x00000001 (1)
