Exchange Domain Controller Baseline Policy

The Exchange Domain Controller Baseline Policy modifies the domain controllers in your forest so they can support Exchange operations. This policy co-exists with the Domain Controller Baseline Policy that is recommended in Chapter 4, "Hardening Domain Controllers," of the Windows Server 2003 Security Guide.

You can download the Exchange Domain Controller Baseline Policy template (Exchange_2003-DC_Incremental_V1_1.inf) from the Microsoft Download Center. You should import this template into a Group Policy object (GPO) at the Domain Controllers organizational unit in Active Directory Users and Computers and should precede the Domain Controller Baseline Policy supplied by Windows Server 2003.
