  • One minor comment...The STIGs are not produced by NIST, but by DISA specifically for the United States Department of Defense. And in my experience, in practice, this one is universally ignored by the entire DoD, including DISA itself. In fact, since it's a Windows 7 STIG, they may have dropped it entirely for newer OSes. I'd have to check. Commented May 9, 2019 at 12:33

    @Xander Thanks for the clarification you are correct. Ya, it's not in the Windows 10 STIG, 7 was the latest entry, I almost did not list it because of that, but I was just noting it as an example, as it's statement is still relevant to why an admin may want to not show the last login. I was not trying to imply it's a best practice to remove it, but was saying it's not necessarily a best practice to keep it. Commented May 9, 2019 at 17:25
