IIST-SV-000139: Index only web content

The IIS 10.0 web server Indexing must only index web content.
To check compliance with IIST-SV-000139, complete the following steps:
  1. Access the IIS 10.0 web server.
  2. Access an administrator command prompt and type
    regedit <enter>
    to access the server's registry.
  3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex\Catalogs\. If this key exists, then indexing is enabled. If the key does not exist, this check is not applicable.
  4. Review the catalog keys to determine if directories other than web document directories are being indexed.
If directories other than web document directories are being indexed, your server is not compliant.
If your server is not compliant, complete the following steps:
  1. Run MMC.
  2. Add the
    Indexing Service
    snap-in.
  3. Edit the indexed directories to include only web document directories.
