The domain must be configured to restrict privileged administrator accounts from logging on to lower-tier hosts.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

If the domain is not configured to restrict privileged administrator accounts from logging on to lower-tier hosts, it would be impossible to isolate administrative accounts to specific trust zones and protect IT resources from threats from high-risk trust zones. Blocking logon to lower-tier assets helps protect IT resources in a tier from being attacked from a lower tier.
