  • Hardening Windows 2000
    Hardening Windows 2000 Philip Cox ([email protected]) Version 1.3 March 14, 2002 Abstract Determining what steps need to be taken to secure a system is one of the most frustrating things that system administrators have to do. This white paper provides a method for getting a Win2K server to a “secure” baseline. From this baseline you can work forward to install additional services. The focus of this white paper is on the Win2K server, but much of the information is applicable to Win2K Professional as well. This paper is excerpted and modified from Chapter 21 of the “Windows 2000 Security Handbook” (ISBN: 0-07- 212433-4, copyright Osborne/McGraw-Hill) authored by Phil Cox and Tom Sheldon (www.windows2000securityhandbook.com).
