Windows-itpro-docs: Increase scheduling priority: Incorrect default value

Created on 4 Apr 2019  Â·  5Comments  Â·  Source: MicrosoftDocs/windows-itpro-docs

The default value for this user right is stated to be Administrators and Window Manager/Window Manager Group but this appears to only be true on desktop SKUs. On Windows Server the Window Manager/Window Manager Group SID is not granted this right by default. I've verified this on Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Server 2016, but believe this is the correct default value as far back as Windows Server 2008? It presumably also still holds true for Windows Server 2019.

Nitpick: The forward slash in Window Manager/Window Manager Group should be a back slash.

@mypil can you submit a pull request? Changes to make:

  1. remove the default values section
  2. remove the reference to the actual value in the Best practices section. It should say Best practice is to retain the default value, but not specify what the default value actually is because that value may change.
  3. For Windows Server 2012 and earlier, add a link to previous versions of this same policy: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/dn221960(v%3dws.11). You can add this link to the See Also section at the bottom.

@ralish Thanks for raising this. I think we actually need to remove the Default values section in each of these GP topics. I need to check some things on my side first. For ex, I think default values were removed from the Windows security baselines because we don't have a way to track if/when the default values change between releases. There might be other problems. I'll follow up here.

@Justinha - Do you have any updates on this?

Thank you.
