Hi ,

What is the best and optimal way to apply security hardening guide on VMS? Is during templates and PowerCli for the deployed VMs?

Thank you

there are different approaches to do security hardening. Two most followed approaches are powercli and orchestrator.

there are many articles in web on using both of the approaches.
