Does the current Windows Scoring Tool work for all of the CIS Benchmarks that are now posted on the CIS website?
The Scoring Tool scans Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP Professional SP1 (not SP2) operating systems. Please note that the current version of the scoring tool DOES NOT score Windows Server 2003 systems. We are working on an update and will release it as soon as possible. To use the new versions of the Windows 2000 Professional (v2.2.1) and Server (v2.2.1) benchmarks. please download the .inf files and manually place them into the “templates” directory of your CIS tool installation. Restart the tool and the new templates will appear.
