Check Text (C-241788r1025160_chk)

Note: If the server is hosting WSUS, this is Not Applicable. Open Registry Editor. Navigate to "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters" Verify "DisableServerHeader” is set to "2". If REG_DWORD DisableServerHeader is not set to 2, this is a finding. If the System Administrator can show that Server Version information has been removed via other means, such as using a rewrite outbound rule, this is not a finding.

Fix Text (F-45023r1025159_fix)

Navigate to "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters". Create REG_DWORD "DisableServerHeader” and set it to "2". Note: This can be performed multiple ways; this is an example.
