Thank ecunupe, I appreciate your detailed information! yes, I followed these steps to the letter, but here is a star for helping.. hey, as an aside.. the netapp engineer gave me "access" to the filers ... yet when I type in any linux commands, it does not recognize the commands. I am getting...

Hey Pat! Hope all is well. Just curious but is there an automated approach to running the template against a new server that needs "auditing" or even an existing pre built server that may need to be currently assessed against the baseline setup? Is there a "canned" GPO that can kick off the...
