Windows Server 2003 Security Compliance Management Toolkit

The Windows Server 2003 Security Compliance Management Toolkit provides you with you with an end-to-end solution to help you plan, deploy, and monitor the security baselines of servers running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) in your environment.

This Solution Accelerator includes the Windows Server 2003 Security Guide and the GPOAccelerator tool to provide you with prescriptive information and automated tools to establish and deploy your security baseline. This toolkit also provides you with 6 DCM Packs to use with the desired configuration management (DCM) feature in Microsoft® System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1. Use this functionality to help you monitor the implementation of your security baseline for Windows Server 2003 SP2.

The Windows Server 2003 Security Compliance Management Toolkit is part of the Security Compliance Management Toolkit series.

The Windows Server 2003 Security Guide offers a choice of preconfigured security baselines for the following two different environments:

* Enterprise Client. This security baseline is best for most organizations in which functionality is evenly balanced with security.
* Specialized Security – Limited Functionality. This security baseline is best for organizations in which concern for security is so great that a significant loss of functionality is acceptable. For example, military and security agency organizations operate in this type of environment.
