More information about InSpec inputs can be found in the [InSpec Profile Documentation](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/profiles/).\n\n```\n- List of authorized users in the Backup Operators Group\nbackup_operators:\n\n- List of authorized users in the local Administrators group\nadministrators:\n\n- List of authorized users in the local Administrators domain group\nadministrators_domain:\n\n- List of temporary accounts on the system\ntemp_account:\n\n- List of emergency accounts on the system\nemergency_account:\n\n- List of authorized users in the local Administrators domain group\nadministrator_domain_group:\n\n- List of shared accounts on the system\nshared_accounts:\n\n- Set to true server has the ftp server role\nhas_ftp_server_role:\n\n- Domain Controller forrest name\nforrest:\n\n- Default administator account\nadmin_account:\n\n- Set to true if the system is dedicated to the management of Active Directory\nis_AD_only_system:\n\n- Set flag to true if the target system is unclassified\nis_unclassified_system:\n\n- List of DoD Interoperability Root Certificates\ndod_certificates:\n\n- List of DoD Interoperability Root Certificates\ndod_cceb_certificates:\n\n- Default account name for Built-In Administrator\nbuilt_in_admin_account:\n\n- A list of all manually managed Application and Service account names\nmanually_managed_app_service_accounts:\n\n```\n\n# Running This Baseline Directly from Github\n\n```\n# How to run\ninspec exec https://github.com/mitre/microsoft-windows-server-2016-stig-baseline/archive/master.tar.gz --target winrm://\u003chostip\u003e --user '\u003cadmin-account\u003e' --password=\u003cpassword\u003e --input-file=\u003cpath_to_your_inputs_file/name_of_your_inputs_file.yml\u003e --reporter=cli json:\u003cpath_to_your_output_file/name_of_your_output_file.json\u003e\n```\n\n### Different Run Options\n\n  [Full exec options](https://docs.chef.io/inspec/cli/#options-3)\n\n## Running This Baseline from a local Archive copy \n\nIf your runner is not always expected to have direct access to GitHub, use the following steps to create an archive bundle of this baseline and all of its dependent tests:\n\n(Git is required to clone the InSpec profile using the instructions below. Git can be downloaded from the [Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) site.)\n\nWhen the __\"runner\"__ host uses this profile baseline for the first time, follow these steps: \n\n```\nmkdir profiles\ncd profiles\ngit clone https://github.com/mitre/microsoft-windows-server-2016-stig-baseline\ninspec archive microsoft-windows-server-2016-stig-baseline\ninspec exec \u003cname of generated archive\u003e --target winrm://\u003chostip\u003e --user '\u003cadmin-account\u003e' --password=\u003cpassword\u003e --input-file=\u003cpath_to_your_inputs_file/name_of_your_inputs_file.yml\u003e --reporter=cli json:\u003cpath_to_your_output_file/name_of_your_output_file.json\u003e\n```\nFor every successive run, follow these steps to always have the latest version of this baseline:\n\n```\ncd microsoft-windows-server-2016-stig-baseline\ngit pull\ncd ..\ninspec archive microsoft-windows-server-2016-stig-baseline --overwrite\ninspec exec \u003cname of generated archive\u003e --target winrm://\u003chostip\u003e --user '\u003cadmin-account\u003e' --password=\u003cpassword\u003e --input-file=\u003cpath_to_your_inputs_file/name_of_your_inputs_file.yml\u003e --reporter=cli json:\u003cpath_to_your_output_file/name_of_your_output_file.json\u003e\n```\n\n## Using Heimdall for Viewing the JSON Results\n\nThe JSON results output file can be loaded into __[heimdall-lite](https://heimdall-lite.mitre.org/)__ for a user-interactive, graphical view of the InSpec results. \n\nThe JSON InSpec results file may also be loaded into a __[full heimdall server](https://github.com/mitre/heimdall)__, allowing for additional functionality such as to store and compare multiple profile runs.\n\n## Authors\n* Alicia Sturtevant, Mitre - [asturtevant](https://github.com/asturtevant)\n* Krishna Kola, DIFZ - [kkola](https://github.com/kkola)\n\n## Special Thanks\n\n* Aaron Lippold, Mitre - [aaronlippold](https://github.com/aaronlippold)\n* Shivani Karikar, DIFZ - [karikarshivani](https://github.com/karikarshivani)\n\n## Contributing and Getting Help\nTo report a bug or feature request, please open an [issue](https://github.com/mitre/microsoft-windows-server-2016-stig-baseline/issues/new).\n\n### NOTICE\n\n© 2018-2020 The MITRE Corporation.\n\nApproved for Public Release; Distribution Unlimited.
