With the success of computer viruses like Slammer, security issues are now a top priority for Windows system administrators, right alongside day-to-day tasks such as setting up accounts and managing performance. If you use Windows 2003 Server at a small to medium-sized organization, or use Microsoft's Small Business Server, this thorough yet concise tutorial offers the hands-on advice you need for securing your network. Modern network operating systems include bundled services that range from traditional file and print sharing and Internet services to authentication, directory and remote access services each a potential security vulnerability as well as a capability. Securing Windows Server 2003 shows you how to put Windows security tools to work, and how to run the server's subsystems to protect users and resources. But that's just the beginning. Network security needs to be well thought-out, not treated as a fire drill when a threat occurs. This book focuses primarily on ways to plan and implement a secure operating environment. Microsoft security veteran Mike Danseglio uses real-world examples to show you how various security concepts relate to your own system, including: * File System Security * Group Policy and security templates * Running secure code * Authentication * IP security * Public Key Certificates and Public Key Infrastructure * Smart Card technology * DHCP and DNS security * Internet Information Services security * Active Directory security * Remote access security * Security audits * Sending secure email, and more Many chapters include a debate, in which fictional protagonists discuss the pros and cons of a particular strategy or solution. These debates provide an objective look at competing methodologies, so you can select the solutions that best fit your network. Read this book cover to cover to create and implement a security plan, or use individual chapters as stand-alone lessons. Either way, Securing Windows Server 2003 will guide you safely through the morass of security threats.

Nach 40 Seiten allgemeiner Sicherheitsthemen geht es mit den Windows-Spezialitäten los: NTFS, EFS, GPO, NTLM, AD und IIS. Dazu allgemeine Themen wie Kerberos, DHCP, DNS, IPsec, VPN und PKI im Hinblick auf die Microsoft Implementierung. Die Einführung in jedes Thema ist gut genug, um die anschließenden Konfigurationen ohne Sekundärliteratur zu verstehen oder kleine bis mittlere Infrastrukturen zu entwerden. Die GUI ist das Mittel der Wahl, wer mit Kommandozeile oder Scripten arbeitet sollte sich das Windows Server 2003 Security Cookbook (Cookbooks (O'Reilly)) anschauen

great security book
12. Dezember 2004
Von Computer Geek Guy

Format:Taschenbuch
When I bought this book, I didn't expect much. Another treatment of Windows security. A boring rehash of the same old stuff with a few new tidbits that I could use.
I was wrong. This book is excellent! It shows you exactly how to do things the right way. There's no ambiguous lectures or hints here. It says "Do this and you're safe; do that and you're vulnerable." I love that kind of directness. The book also breaks things down so a beginner can learn while they do. I didn't find these sections too valuable myself, but they were easily skipped and are there for the people still ramping up. And it covered pretty much all the security topics I was looking for, including DHCP and PKI. While a couple of important topics were a little light such as IIS, I've already got books specifically on those that I can use.
If you have to deal with Windows 2003 security and you want a direct, no-nonsense approach, buy this book. I wouldn't want it to be the only book on my shelf, but I find it valuable to have it there.

A Great Security Reference Manual
22. Dezember 2004
Von Robert L. Stinnett
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
In "Securing Windows Server 2003" the author does a superb job of providing a blueprint on how to secure a Windows 2003 system that is accessible by the world. Similar to a checklist, you will find yourself going through this book using it as a guideline as you rollout your Server 2003 installations and double-checking existing ones already live.
The author does a great job of focusing on the task at hand, security, and does not try to do what so many others have -- make this an entire book about implementing 2003. By keeping to the point, the book itself becomes a desk reference instead of another bookshelf weight. Many of the tasks focused on in the book can be bookmarked and refered to for case scenarios during any 2003 implementation.
From understanding the basic security of a Server 2003 system, implementing Group Policy Objects, all the way up to understanding Kerbos and PKI cryptography, this book covers each topic in enough detail to give the reader a firm ground on which to check and implement procedures.
One of the strong features of the book is the author actually walks you through many of the steps you need to take -- with screenshots where appropriate. He does not leave you stranded in the middle of a procedure with only a vague mention of what task to perform next. Experienced administrators will appreciate the fact that he goes into detail to cover all the bases while newer administrators will appreciate the hands-on approach and step-by-step instructions.
Overall, a great security book that should become a standard on any System Administrators bookshelf. Server 2003 has introduced a new era into the Microsoft Server family, one which not all the old tricks and practices of Windows 2000 apply -- this book will help you learn the new ropes and get up to speed quickly.

Good General Guide
27. Januar 2006
Von Joaquin Menchaca
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
I find this book overall well written and a lot of the advice practical. This book tends to be more wordy on the discussion, but does have some excellent nuts-n-bolts practical side. Overall, I think this is a useful guide to most people, but I found that much of the information to be too general, at least those familiar with practical experience or those studying MSCE certification material: GPOs, security templates, MSBSA, SUS, IPSec, IAS, VPN, etc. So at least for me, or others going through books for certification studies, a lot of the material is redundant and offers little in the way of new insights.
One thing that I found most shocking in a book on "Securing Windows" is that is no coverage of a firewall, either ICF or Windows Firewall. I wanted to know about those and how I could use the firewall in conjunction with routing and IPSec, but this essential topic is omitted. I would have also liked some more hands on material covering removing malware (viruses, spyware, etc.) from startup (registry keys) or configuring DACLs for services like DHCP, Telnet, etc. But this book doesn't delve in these depths beyond the basics.
Of interest was Chapter 9 "Certificates and PKI Infrastructure". I found that this chapter was more on philosphy and business aspects, rather than practical implementation. The later I found was sorely incomplete. In particular, the instructions for creating an offline rootCA will be problematic and maybe fail, as there is no mention having empty configuration with CDP and AIA sections using CAPolicy.inf.
Bottom line, good general overvew of security for novice administrators, but for more advanced folks might find the material to be a rehash of the basics.
