About this tag
On WindowsForum.com, the drift control tag follows discussion of configuration drift management in Microsoft enterprise environments, currently centered on Azure Local 2610 security baselines. The tagged content explains how administrators can customize an individual baseline setting without disabling drift control, with that exception persisting across solution updates. It also covers the expanded baseline and closer alignment with CIS and DISA STIG guidance.

The focus is practical compliance and security administration rather than a simple compliance percentage.
