ScriptShare

This script fixes the windows CIS Benchmark check 18.9.49.1: "Ensure 'Turn off the advertising ID' is set to 'Enabled'."

The script checks if it is running with administrative privileges, creates the necessary registry key if it does not exist, sets the "DisabledByGroupPolicy" DWORD value to 1 under the specified path, and then verifies that the value is correctly set. If the value is set as required, it reports a pass; otherwise, it reports a failure.

Notes

• This script must be run as an Administrator.
• It directly modifies the registry, which is equivalent to enabling the Group Policy setting.
• Use with caution, as registry changes can have system-wide effects.
