Lock down Windows Server 2003 with the Security Configuration Wizard
by Michael Mullins CCNA, MCP
Takeaway:
If you've been looking for a way to standardize and simplify security settings for your Windows Server 2003 servers, don't overlook the Security Configuration Wizard. Mike Mullins has the details in this edition of Security Solutions.
Many organizations struggle with implementing the proper security features on a new Windows Server 2003 installation, and some just add security as needed. As far as resources go, there are multiple sources for checklists and guides available, including SANS, NSA, NIST, and a host of others. However, rather than reading through hundreds of pages of documentation and creating custom security templates, there's an easier way—the Security Configuration Wizard.
This wizard contains an XML database that includes every service, feature, and administration option for every different server deployment type. Regardless of whether you're deploying a DNS, Exchange, File and Print, Domain Controller, or any other Windows server, this tool has the settings you need to lock it down.
