Windows 10 domain-joined systems must have a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) enabled and ready for use.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Credential Guard uses virtualization-based security to protect information that could be used in credential theft attacks if compromised. A number of system requirements must be met for Credential Guard to be configured and enabled properly. Without a TPM enabled and ready for use, Credential Guard keys are stored in a less secure method using software.

A Manual Procedure
For standalone or nondomain-joined systems, this is NA.
Virtualization-based security, including Credential Guard, currently cannot be implemented in VDI due to specific supporting requirements including a TPM, UEFI with Secure Boot, and the capability to run the Hyper-V feature within the virtual desktop.
For VDIs where the virtual desktop instance is deleted or refreshed upon logoff, this is NA.
