Windows-itpro-docs: Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline - Updates for 1909?

[epon]

Hi,

Are there any updates to the Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline specifically for version 1909? The baseline currently only covers up to 1903. Are the LGPO/auto-install scripts for 1903 suitable for use on 1909?

Regards.

Note that none of the documentation regarding managing connections from Windows OS components currently refers to 1909. I was just wanting to know if there are planned updates to any of this.
