What requirement must an administrator remember when utilizing Security Configuration and Analysis (SCA) to apply security templates to Windows systems?

SCA can be used locally on the target machine and does not require remote administration; it is commonly run directly on the system being configured.

Security templates are standard .inf files that can be created or stored locally and do not need to originate from a domain controller.

The Security Configuration and Analysis tool applies security templates by modifying system-level policies and registry settings that are protected by the operating system. When applied in a domain context, this operation requires domain administrator rights to propagate changes with the authority needed to override existing Group Policy or local policy configurations.

Security template application can be reversed by reapplying a previous template or using a rollback template, so automatic reversal is not strictly impossible through re-configuration.
