...Federation Services is a highly secure, highly extensible, and Internet-scalable identity access solution that allows organizations to authenticate users from partner organizations. Using AD FS in Windows Server 2008, you can simply and very securely grant external users access to your organization’s domain resources. AD FS can also simplify integration between untrusted resources and domain resources within your own organization. Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service (AD LDS), formerly known as Active Directory Application Mode, can be used to provide directory services for directory-enabled applications. Instead of using your organization’s AD DS database to store the directory-enabled application data, AD LDS can be used to store the data. AD LDS can be used in conjunction with AD DS so that you can have a central location for security accounts (AD DS) and another location to support the application configuration and directory data (AD LDS). Using AD LDS, you can reduce the overhead associated with Active Directory replication, you do not have to extend the Active Directory schema to support the application, and you can partition the directory structure so that the AD LDS service is only deployed to the servers that need to support the directory-enabled application. Most organizations use certificates to prove the identity of users or computers, as well as to encrypt data during transmission across unsecured network connections. Active Directory Certificate Services...

...1.WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE GLOBAL NAMES ZONE IN WINDOWS SERVER 2008 DNS SERVERS? A: "GNZ is intended to aid the retirement of WINS, and it's worth noting that it is not a replacement for WINS. GNZ is not intended to support the single-label name resolution of records that are dynamically registered in WINS, records which typically are not managed by IT administrators. Support for these dynamically registered records is not scalable, especially for larger customers with multiple domains and/or forests. In GNZ, after the creation and enabling of the GlobalNames zone, the administrators must manually create, add, edit and, if required - delete, name records from that zone. GNZ does not support dynamic updates."

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM THE WAYS DNS HANDLES ORDINARY DOMAIN CONTROLLERS? "Because the DNS server that runs on an RODC cannot directly register client updates, it has to refer the client to a DNS server that hosts a primary or Active Directory-integrated copy of the zone file. This server is sometimes referred to as a "writable DNS server." When a client presents a Find Authoritative Query, which is the precursor to an update request, the DNS server on the RODC uses the domain controller Locator to find domain controllers in the closest site...

...Hana Laplant 4/12/12 Unit 4 Assignment 1&2 Enhance an existing it security policy framework Security policy planners must consider and the tasks they must complete to deploy an effective security audit policy in a network that includes computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Organizations invest a large portion of their information technology budgets on security applications and services, such as antivirus software, firewalls, and encryption. But no matter how much security hardware or software you deploy, how tightly you control the rights of users, or carefully you configure security permissions on your data, you should not consider the job complete unless you have a well-defined, timely auditing strategy to track the effectiveness of your defenses and identify attempts to circumvent them. To be well defined and timely, an auditing strategy must provide useful tracking data on an organization's most important resources, critical behaviors, and potential risks. In a growing number of organizations, it must also provide absolute proof that IT operations comply with corporate and regulatory requirements. Unfortunately, no organization has unlimited resources to monitor every single resource and activity on a network. If you do not plan well enough, you will likely have gaps in your auditing strategy. However, if you try to audit every resource and activity, you may find yourself with far too much monitoring data, including thousands of benign audit...

...to be. In reality, it is merely a culmination of smarter ways of computing and data analysis. IT managers and enthusiasts have been talking about dynamic IT for over 10 years now and finally technology has progressed enough to induce a dynamic IT environment by deploying a smart mix of hardware, software and services. The involvement of software in traditional data centers aims to address the biggest business demands of IT – speed, cost, scale and richest variety of business solutions. Cloud computing is basically a software alternative that provides infrastructure, network, storage and management services to businesses by leveraging connectivity. The basic server infrastructure in data centers can be compared to a virtual server environment existing over the internet. The applications provided by processors and servers can all be networked through the internet making it a software environment. Some of the key attributes that characterize a cloud service include: shared/standard service, self-service, elastic scaling, use-based pricing and leveraging internet standards. The idea of a ‘cloud’ goes beyond convenience and has multiple silver linings. By reducing the traditional costs and labor associated with deploying, maintaining and upgrading business technology, IT departments have the potential to become free to devote their limited resources to projects more strategic to the business. Having defined the silver lining there is no denying the fact that the technology itself...

...Deploying Application Firewall in Defense in Depth Principle Abstract Information security should be a priority for businesses, especially when they are increasingly involved in electronic commerce. With the understanding that securing an operating system successfully requires taking a systematic and comprehensive approach, security practitioners have recommended a layered approach called defense-in-depth. The cost and complexity of deploying multiple security technologies has prevented many organizations from achieving their information security goal. In view of these constraints and in compliance with recent with recent corporate and industry regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, businesses now deploy application firewalls as security measures. Based on the foregoing, the author has recommended the use of application firewalls as a single platform for achieving layered security through network protection, application protection and data protection. This paper commences by examining the defense in depth theory and the types of application firewall and the author concludes by citing the Institute for Computing Applications (IAC) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) as an example of an organization which engaged application firewalls in resolving its network security problem. Research Analysis/ Body The development of Information security is of paramount importance to organizations that have online presence...

...implementing a new AD DS infrastructure there are many business-related questions that need answered in order to accurately design a domain hierarchy. Below is what we need to know to effectively accomplish this, including the number of DCs, geographical placement, number of domains/forests etc. Ideally, all servers should run the latest version of windows and take advantage of all the advanced features available with the newest software. DC deployment configuration Decisions to make- Deploy a separate forest without any trusts? Deploy a new forest with federation? Deploy a new forest with Windows Server Active Directory forest trust for Kerberos? Extend Corp forest by deploying a replica DC? Extend Corp forest by deploying a new child domain or domain tree? Factors to consider- Security- what is your security plan? Compliance- is there any compliance codes or concerns? Cost- what is the budget? Resiliency and fault-tolerance- is there any implemented? Application compatibility- software and hardware compatibility Geographical Placement There can be a central location where all servers are located and use WAN links for sites to query DCs and DNS servers for network resources. Also, you may place DCs at sites if bandwidth utilization is at a premium. Needed to determine the number of DCs Collect the network info Plan domain controller placement Create a site design Create a site link design Create a site link bridge Example Figure 1: Hierarchy of Active...
