The following are some best practices that should be followed when documenting configuration packs.  This list of best practices is not inclusive and is only a recommendation.

• All configuration packs should include a word document that describes each configuration baseline, item, setting and rule.
• Each setting and rule should include the following inline in the configuration pack…
  • Summary of what the rule is checking
  • Expected value for the setting
  • Why is this setting important
  • How to fix this setting if not compliant
• All configuration packs should include a readme that details how to import the configuration pack
• All documents should be shipped inside configuration pack MSI
• All documents should also be shipped outside configuration pack to allow for direct download
• All documentation should be proofed for grammar and spelling
