Eldmannen Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Desktop_Core_Configuration http://nvd.nist.gov/fdcc/download_fdcc.cfm It is the security configuration to be used on federal desktop systems running Windows XP and Windows Vista. I haven't tried it, but it seems interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_A Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 It's no longer called FDCC -- that's the old name. Wikipedia's article is presumably flagged as outdated because of the name change, caused by the move to Windows 7. Now it's called USGCB: United States Government Configuration Baseline and it covers Windows 7 and Red Hat (RHEL 5). Both of them look interesting if you want to lock down computers.

greenknight Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Cool that there's a version for Red Hat, too - the feds used to act like no OS existed outside of Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
