Hi Heiko,
Ryan is on the right track. You need to create the custom field exactly as in the PDF in the zip. Another problem I've seen is that the mapping of the custom field in the code of the script comes out blank. I am not sure why that happens in a some cases.
Be sure that each time you see the command updateSystemInfo that it points to a custom field. The first set of quotes should not be empty. It always needs to point to a custom field.
Example:
Let me know how it goes. If you are experiencing this then I am sure others are as well.
Thanks!

Hi Heiko,
Lets try that again... the formatting was off with the screenshot and some text was lost.

I also recently encountered another problem. This script may not be accurate on all machines if they don't have the Bitlocker PowerShell commands. Usually on Home versions of Windows 10 and Windows 7. I am updating the script to detect if the commands are there and then proceed. This was recently brought to my attention from a customer.
Try running the PowerShell commands directly on the machine (or through Live Connect) to see if that is the problem. It shouldnt create an error just misreport the status of Bitlocker.

Issues I've found:
Guest Account Status Check
On Windows 10 machines this will always return 'enabled', gueststatus.txt is empty.
I've tried to run it as a .cmd but with no results.It's a very useful tool, well done.

Hi Will,
Thanks for bringing that to my attention, apologies. I will add some error checking to it. Unfortunately, this is my own project and I have limited testing ability and no QA. I will fix this on the next version plus I am adding a couple more tests such as checking if Network Level Authentication is disabled, trying to figure out how to detect is Smart Screen is enabled, and detecting UAC level.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks!

Hi Sidney,
The problem I've mentioned was due to different language, when running 'net user guest |finstr /C:"active" the output was in English "Active yes" but when running the procedure as system the output was ín Dutch "Actief Yes" and was not filtered out to 'gueststatus.txt'.
The 'problem' was just on our site.

Hi Sidney,
I have run the import of the .XML file in the import centre (we are running on premise 9.5.0.22)
The messages said both the agent procedures and report import completed. I am looking for the Agent Procedures under Schedule/Create and cannot find them anywhere. Should they be under Private, Shared or System? Do they make their own folder?

Hi Nigel,
The Agent Procedures should appear under the Shared folders in a folder called Security Audit Report v_2 that gets created. Try checking again after you login again to VSA. I'm curious the folders didn't refresh. I am looking for an environment to import to see if there is an issue. The reports should be in the same place in Info Center.
Let me know what you find please.
Thanks,
Sidney

Hi Sidney,
The Report shows up in the correct place under reports in the Info centre, but the Security Audit Report folder does not get created in our Shared Scripts. I will try creating that folder and then rerunning the import to see what happens.
Thanks for your help

No luck unfortunately. Tried a few combinations of the folder name and manually adding share permission for Master users etc. Still no sign of the Agent procedures showing up.
One point is that I did accidentally try to import the procedures once before I had added in all of the required Custom Fields. Not sure if that would cause the import to fail on subsequent attempts after all the Custom Fields were set up.

When I try to import the XML file I receive the following error.
- File was not uploaded due to incorrectly formatted XML. Please export the content to a new XML file and try again.

Sidney,
Where can I find the latest version of the your Security Audit Report and is there a trick to importing with all the new security or has that been resolved. I am looking to see which machines are in legacy mode as well as which UEFI machines don't have Secure Boot enabled.
Thanks,
Gene

Hello Sidney,
I set this up on our system. I created the custom fields, imported the xml, and created and scheduled policies. When scheduling policies, I put in the time (10:00 AM), save it, and it immediately resorts to 6:00 PM. If I set the schedule to use agent time, it bumps it up to 2:00 PM. Changing the time settings in the System module has no effect. This is he only Agent Procedure doing this. Do you have any idea what could be the problem?
Thanks,

Hi Heiko,
That line has a PowerShell command, can you copy the command ((Get-WindowsFeature -Name BitLocker).InstallState) and go to that server and run it in PowerShell with elevated privileges please? See if you are getting an error. That line test to see if the BitLocker Feature is installed. It sounds like it is failing, and it could be that the OS is too old. Which version of the OS is it?
Thanks,
Sidney
