Thin clients in a high security windows network

Apologies in advance, I'm a windows administrator with no experience with Thin clients :emotion-1:

I am about to apply security settings from Microsofts Security Configuration Manger GPO's to domain controllers. I want to import the GPO "WS2012R2 domain controller security compliance 1.0" in a GPO targeting the domain controllers. The current domain controller GPO contain many low security settings, and I need to fix this. I believeThe settings of interest are:

Domain Controller: LDAP server signing requirements: Require signing

Domain Member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always).

Mirosoft Network Server: Server SPN target name validation level: “required by client”

Network security: Allow local system to use computer identity for NTLM.

Network security: Allow localsystem NULL session fallback: disabled

Network security: Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos: not allowed DES_CBC_CRC or DES_CBC_MD5.

Network security: LAN Manager Authentication level: Send NTLMv2 only, refuse LM and NTLM.

Network security: Minmum Session Security for NTLM SSP based servers (including RPC) clients: NTLMv2 and 128 bit.

Network security: Minmum Session Security for NTLM SSP based servers (including RPC) servers: NTLMv2 128 bit.

Most users are using Wyse thin clients. They log on to the thin clients using domain credentials. CItrix and storefront is used in the organization. I have very little knowledge of the thin clients, but the version number is 8.0_210. I believe there are different versions in the organization, but i can find out.

Will the thin clients continue to work after i apply the SCM GPO to the domain contollers? Do i need any software update or specific configuration on the thin clients to make this work?

Advice is highly appreciated!

Ragnar,

With Wyse ThinOS thin clients, there are some configuration files that may need to be modified (WNOS.INI, MAC.INI and USER.INI) depending on your layout. Current firmware version is 8.0_512, but you may want to try your new GPO settings to see if they work before any mayor deployment.
