## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Domain-Joined Systems & System Backup
> **⚡ READ THIS BEFORE RUNNING** This tool modifies critical Windows security settings!
<details>
<summary><strong>⚠️ CRITICAL: Domain-Joined Systems & System Backup (click to expand)</strong></summary>
### 🏢 Domain-Joined Systems (Active Directory)
**WARNING:** This tool is **NOT recommended for production domain-joined systems** without AD team coordination!
**Why?**
- This tool modifies **local Group Policies**
- Domain Group Policies **override local policies every 90 minutes**
- Your hardening **may be reset automatically** by domain GPOs
- Can lead to configuration conflicts and "flapping" behavior
**RECOMMENDED USE CASES:**
- Standalone systems (Home/Workgroup)
- Home/Personal PCs (not domain-joined)
- Virtual machines (testing/lab environments)
- Air-gapped systems
- Test/development domain-joined systems (non-production)
**Recommended for:** Standalone systems, Home/Personal PCs, VMs, air-gapped systems, test/dev environments.
**For Enterprise/Domain Environments:**
- **Integrate these settings into your Domain Group Policies instead!**
- Coordinate with your Active Directory team before using this tool

**For Enterprise/Domain Environments:** Integrate these settings into your Domain Group Policies instead!
### 💾 System Backup REQUIRED
**Before running this tool, you MUST create:**
**Before running this tool, create:**
1. **Windows System Restore Point** (recommended)
2. **Full System Image/Backup** (critical!)
3. **VM Snapshot** (if running in virtual machine)
**Why?**
- This tool creates **internal backups** for rollback (Registry, Services, Tasks)
- However, a **full system backup** protects against:
- Unforeseen system issues
- Hardware failures during hardening
- Configuration conflicts
- Critical errors
The tool creates internal backups for rollback (BAVR pattern), but a full system backup protects against unforeseen issues, hardware failures, and configuration conflicts.
**Backup Tools:**
- Windows Backup (Settings → System → Storage → Backup)
- System Image (wbadmin, Macrium Reflect, Acronis)
- Hyper-V/VMware: Checkpoint/Snapshot
**Backup Tools:** Windows Backup, wbadmin, Macrium Reflect, Acronis, Hyper-V/VMware Snapshots.
**⚠️ IMPORTANT: Create your backup BEFORE running the tool. The tool does NOT verify backup existence.**
