Scan host configuration

1. Install OpenSSH:

   Note:

   For Windows 2019, OpenSSH server feature can be enabled.

   • Download OpenSSH package from https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/releases and extract it to C:\Program Files folder.

   • Add C:\Program Files to environment variable PATH.

   • Open PowerShell and run it as an administrator.

   • Navigate to C:\Program Files and run the following commands to install sshd and enable port 22:

     powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install-sshd.ps1

     netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=sshd dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=22

     sc.exe config sshd start= auto

     net start sshd

2. Install NFS client by running the following command on PowerShell:

   Install-WindowsFeature -Name NFS-Client

3. Enable UID mapping:

   • Run the following commands on PowerShell to enable NFS user mapping:

     PS C:\Users\Administrator> Set-NfsMappingStore -EnableUNMLookup  $True  -UNMServer localhost
     PS C:\Users\Administrator> nfsadmin mapping
       
     The following are the settings on localhost
       
     Mapping Server Lookup       : Enabled
     Mapping Server              : localhost
     AD Lookup                   : Disabled
     AD Domain 

   • Create the passwd and group files as follows:

     Note:

     Ensure that the file extension is not created. The entry that is created must be in the file type format.

     • C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\passwd file:

       <scanuser>:x:<uid>:<uid>:Description:C:\Users\<scanuser>

       For example,

       C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\passwd - scanuser:x:1000:1000:Description:C:\Users\scanuser

     • C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\group file:

       <scanuser>:x:<uid>:<uid>

       For example,

       C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\group  - scanuser:x:1000:1000

     Note:

     For scanning VMWare and Cloud images on Windows scan host, enable nfsadmin mapping to UID/GID 0. Scan user must be an administrator.

     passwd file content - Administrator:x:0:0:Description:C:\Users\Administrator

     group file content - Administrator:x:0:0

4. Restart NFS client:

   After updating passwd/group files, restart NFS client service using the following commands:

   nfsadmin client stop

   nfsadmin client start

5. Verify the ID (UID/GID) mapping for user by running the following command using PowerShell:

   Get-NfsMappedIdentity -AccountName scanuser -AccountType User
   
   UserIdentifier      : 1001
   GroupIdentifier     : 1001
   UserName            : scanuser
   PrimaryGroup        :
   SupplementaryGroups :
   

6. Install VC runtime:

   Download and install VC runtime package from https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe.

7. Configure the Malware scanner tool (Microsoft Defender Antivirus).
