A Microsoft continua melhorando a segurança de seus sistemas operacionais e está incluindo uma nova ferramenta de segurança no Service Pack 1 do Windows Server 2003: o Security Configuration Wizard.
Este assistente trabalha em conjunto com as políticas de grupo, presentes no sistema, que podem ser aplicadas em qualquer servidor em uma rede, garantindo consistência e estabilidade das regras de segurança em todos os servidores.
It is no secret that Microsoft needs to work on security for their operating systems. It is also no secret that many of their attempts to date haven't worked as seamlessly as they have originally intended. However, Microsoft is finally onto something with the introduction of the new Security Configuration Wizard, which is bundled with Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1.
The Wizard works in conjunction with security policies. The resulting security policies can be applied to any server on your network, allowing for consistency and stability of the security settings on all servers. The security policies are created based on a baseline server. Once the security policy is created, it can be applied to the baseline server, or any other server in the organization.
