PowerSTIG 4.30.0 incorrectly includes the Server Operators principal in V-278001.c for the Windows Server 2025 Member Server STIG 1.1.
The rule manages permissions on:
Its processed ACL contains:
<Entry>
<Principal>Server Operators</Principal>
<Inheritance />
<Rights>ReadKey</Rights>
</Entry>
However, the rule's own STIG text states:
Server Operators - Read - This key and subkeys (Domain controllers only)
The Server Operators group does not exist on a member server. AccessControlDsc therefore fails while attempting to resolve it.
Exception calling "Translate" with "1" argument(s):
"Some or all identity references could not be translated."
A constructor was not found. Cannot find an appropriate constructor
for type System.Security.Principal.NTAccount.
The PowerShell DSC resource
[RegistryAccessEntry][V-278001.c]::[WindowsServer]Baseline
threw one or more non-terminating errors while running Test-TargetResource.
