<strong>Windows</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>2003</strong><br />
<strong>Recommended</strong> <strong>Baseline</strong> <strong>Security</strong> (ITSG-20)<br />
Executive Summary<br />
This guide provides detailed guidance for hardening a <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>2003</strong> <strong>Server</strong>. Deploying<br />
hardened servers is critical when protecting information technology (IT) from attack. By using<br />
the information in this guide, System Administrators can install packages that will deploy<br />
hardened servers in their environment.<br />
The intent of this guide is to provide a very secure <strong>Baseline</strong> configuration. System<br />
Administrators may then add functionality as needed.<br />
To help System Administrators add functionality, two configurations are provided: a print server<br />
and a file server.<br />
This guide has been developed using the “Microsoft <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>2003</strong> <strong>Security</strong> Guide”<br />
[Reference 1] as reference. The Microsoft guide was analyzed and tested at CSE. The result is<br />
detailed instructions on:<br />
• Necessary software<br />
• Registry keys<br />
• <strong>Security</strong> settings<br />
• Internet Protocol <strong>Security</strong> (IPSec)<br />
