UNC Hardening

Hi,

I have gone through the community Q&A and also many other sites but could not make myself understand use of UNC Hardening. Based on some sites I tried to configure UNC Hardening, say for e.g. if I access NETLOGON & SYSLOG by using IP of server it cannot be accessed and like wise

But what I see is that I am able to access NETLOGON & SYSLOG with help of IP and also without configuring UNC Hardening.
Can anyone help me with exact use of UNC Hardening with practical example if any.

Thanks

Manish

    Hi,

    UNC Hardening aim is to tackle man-in-the-middle attack related to share folders access. It will help you for example prevent a user executing an illegitimate script located on a rogue file server via name spoofing.
    Normally if you have configured it like explained in this article it should work162797-unc-hardening.png
