Windows 2003 security center

This section is broken down into subsections, which allow you to select server roles, client functions, services, etc.

Here is a list of the subsections that you will encounter for the Role-Based service configuration section:. Network Security - This section is designed to configure inbound ports using Windows Firewall. The configurations will be based on the roles and administration options that were selected in the previous section. You will also be able to restrict access to ports and configure port traffic to be signed or encrypted using IPSec. The selection of the ports are based on ports and applications that use specific ports, as can be seen in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Network Security is controlled by configuring the ports on the server. Registry Settings - This section is designed to configure protocols used to communicate with computers on the network.

Security for communication protocols is important due to legacy Windows operating systems requiring protocols that are vulnerable to password cracking and man-in-the-middle attacks. The key areas that are targeted in this section include:.

Audit Policy - This section will configure the auditing of the server based on your auditing objectives. The audit policy within the Wizard can be configured to not audit any events, audit only successful events, or audit both successful and unsuccessful events. The audit policy will not only configure the Object Access events, but the entire audit policy list of events.

Figure 5 illustrates what the audit policy will be for a server that should be auditing both successful and unsuccessful events. Figure 5: Audit policy settings.

Internet Information Services - This section will only display if you selected the server to run the Web server role. Facebook Twitter.
