Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution not turned off by Group Policy ​(T1557.001)

No Group Policy turns off Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution for the Windows computers in this container.

Why it matters

Anyone on the same network can answer these computers' name lookups and capture the credentials they send.

How GraphnAI finds it

It runs after every sync, on each connected domain or tenant on its own. It applies to Active Directory.

It reads:

  • The directory attributes gPLink, gPOptions, flags, userAccountControl, accountEnabled, distinguishedName, gPCWQLFilter, nTSecurityDescriptor, operatingSystem and lastLogonTimestamp
  • The Group Policy files the Identity Bridge reads from SYSVOL
  • The privilege tier classification

Tiered Fidelity™ level: Theoretical

Every finding from this check carries the Theoretical level.

  1. TheoreticalThis checkConfigured in the directory. Nothing else checked.
  2. ConstrainedA constraint on it has been checked.
  3. ValidatedTelemetry has seen it in use.

Why there's no automatic fix

GraphnAI can't edit Group Policy settings. Change this setting in Group Policy Management.

How to fix it

Enable 'Turn off multicast name resolution' in a policy linked to this container or above it. Make sure no policy closer to the computers turns it back on.
