Course Description:

'' A Detailed Look Inside the Security and Control . In January 2002, Microsoft announced that it was working to develop a new version of Windows that would be the most secure and reliable so far. Their aim was for it to be ‘Secure by Design� ‘Secure by Default�and ‘Secure in Deployment� In this four-day hands-on workshop, you will learn all the essential features of Windows 2003 and Active Directory. You’ll learn how it is installed, how it works in a networked environment, and how it’s much talked about, improved security and audit features can be used to create a secure, well managed network. With hands-on access to your own Windows 2003 server, you’ll learn how to inspect the operating system configuration, and see how the new control settings provide a higher standard of ‘out of the box�security than previous versions of Windows.

Starting with a basic server, you’ll learn how Active Directory, the core of Windows networks, is deployed and configured. You will be able to use the Active Directory management tools at Administrator level to display and inspect all the important areas of AD. You’ll learn about the Windows 2003 access permissions system, and how it controls access to files, folders, printers, registry settings and Active Directory objects. In a series of practical exercises you will be able to assess the effects of security settings and group membership on the access granted to system resources. You’ll learn how to use the Security Configuration and Analysis tools to measure the security status of your system against a benchmark.

Windows 2003 has new tools for the management of Group Policy Objects. GPOs are a major area of audit interest, as they can be used to control almost every aspect of the behaviour of Windows servers and workstations. You’ll be able to use the new Group Policy Management Console to display, modify and test the effect of Group Policies on Windows users and computers. You’ll learn about the Windows auditing system, how it is set up and configured, how to recommend a suitable audit policy, and how to extract security-related information from the Windows event logs. You’ll see how the new authentication features of Windows 2003 such as role-based security and software restriction policies can be used to create new security mechanisms. You’ll hear about Microsoft’s planned enhancements to the auditing system, such as ‘per user�auditing and the Microsoft Audit Collection Systems (MACS), due to be released with Service Pack 1. If the Service Pack is available in time for the course, you will have a chance to deploy and use them. Windows 2003, despite its heavy emphasis on its graphical user interface, has a huge number of command-line tools and utilities, and also has excellent support for scripting languages such as VBScript. You’ll learn how to make the best use of these tools and scripts to extract valuable audit information from the Windows 2003 and Active Directory and how to import the data into other Windows programmes for later analysis. At the end of the course you will have all the knowledge required to plan and conduct an efficient and effective audit of a Windows 2003-based network.

Prerequisites: A basic knowledge of the principles of operating systems. No previous experience of Windows 2000 or 2003 is required
