Windows server restore / Filter in HailMary mode #56

Closed Blue-i-y closed 3 months ago

Blue-i-y commented 3 months ago

Hi,

First of all, I want to thank you for this repository.

I've encountered a couple of issues while using the code. The first issue is that the restore point functionality seems to be available only for computers. When I tried using it with a server, I had to create a manual restore point to utilize the HailMary mode, and I was forced to use the -SkipRestorePoint option.

The second issue is related to category filtering. When I filter by category and use the HailMary mode, the hardening is applied to all categories, not just the selected ones.

Thank you for your attention to these matters.

Best regards

Hi @Blue-i-y

Thanks for your feedback :)

According to Microsoft, System restore points and the ComputerRestore cmdlets are supported only on client operating systems, so unfortunately there is nothing more I can do. Would it help if you got an additional error message on a server operating system?

For now, the filter function is only supported in Audit and Config mode. As the HailMary mode is a delicate matter, I suggest you create your own file and remove all the lines you want to filter.

All the best
