For more info, see Blocking Remote Use of Local Accounts. Update 2 September 2014: updated the guidance with a change to Member Server baseline and "Deny access to this computer from the network" setting. We discuss those changes in more detail in two other blog posts: one about most of the changes, and another detailed post about the issues around account lockout recommendations. There are a few changes between these recommendations and the beta version we released in April. The attachment to this blog post includes scripts to apply those baselines to a computer's local policy and GPO backups you can import into Active Directory Group Policy.

Settings are provided as four separate sets of baselines, for the following configurations: Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controller, Windows Server 2012 R2 Member Server, and Internet Explorer 11.

Removal of almost all service startup settings, and all server role baselines that contain only service startup settings.

Removal of the recommendation to enable "FIPS mode" (this is discussed in greater detail in this blog post: Why We're Not Recommending "FIPS Mode" Anymore ).

Incorporation of the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) into the standard baselines.

Blocking the use of web browsers on domain controllers.

Recommendations to control the storage of plaintext-equivalent passphrases.

Use of new and existing settings to help block some Pass the Hash attack vectors.

Some of the highlights of the new security baselines (many of which we intend to backport to older versions of Windows and IE): Microsoft is pleased to announce the final release of security baseline settings for Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2 and Internet Explorer 11.
