You are the network administrator for your company. The network consists of a single Active Directory domain. The network contains 50 application servers that run Windows Server 2003. The security configuration of the application servers is not uniform. The application servers were deployed by local administrators who configured the settings for each of the application servers differently based on their knowledge and skills. The application servers are configured with different authentication methods, audit settings, and account policy settings. The security team recently completed a new network security design. The design includes a baseline configuration for security settings on all servers.
The baseline security settings use the Hisecws.inf predefined security template. The design also requires modified settings for servers in an application role. These settings include system service startup requirements, renaming the administrator account, and more stringent account lockout policies. The security team created a security template named Application.inf that contains the modified settings. You need to plan the deployment of the new security design. You need to ensure that all security settings for the application servers are standardized, and that after the deployment, the security settings on all application servers meet the design requirements.
