The Microsoft® Excel® workbook "Windows Server 2003 Security Guide Settings.xls" (included with this guide) documents the policy and service settings for all of the roles and environments that are included in this guide. This workbook contains ten worksheets, one for each role in the guide:

  • The Domain worksheet contains the Group Policy settings that configure the domain-level policy objects as described in Chapter 3, "The Domain Policy."
  • The Member Server Baseline worksheet contains the Group Policy and SCW service settings that configure the MSBP as described in Chapter 4, "The Member Server Baseline Policy."
  • The Domain Controller worksheet contains the Group Policy and SCW service settings that configure the DCBP as described in Chapter 5, "The Domain Controller Baseline Policy."
  • The Infrastructure Server worksheet contains the Group Policy and SCW service settings that configure the infrastructure server policies as described in Chapter 6, "The Infrastructure Server Role."
  • The File Server worksheet contains the Group Policy and SCW service settings that configure the file server policies as described in Chapter 7, "The File Server Role."
  • The Print Server worksheet contains the Group Policy and SCW service settings that configure the print server policies as described in Chapter 8, "The Print Server Role."
  • The Web Server worksheet contains the Group Policy and SCW service settings that configure the IIS Web server policies as described in Chapter 9, "The Web Server Role."
  • The IAS Server worksheet contains the Group Policy and SCW service settings that configure the IAS server policies as described in Chapter 10, "The IAS Server Role."
  • The CA Server worksheet contains the Group Policy and SCW service settings that configure the Certificate Services server policies as described in Chapter 11, "The Certificate Services Server Role."
  • The Bastion Host worksheet contains the Group Policy and SCW service settings that configure the bastion host policies as described in Chapter 12, "The Bastion Host Role."

Each worksheet contains the following columns:

  • The H column, Policy Setting Name in User Interface, is the name of the setting as it appears in the Windows Server 2003 Group Policy Editor snap-in.
  • The J column, Legacy Client, is the recommended value for that setting in the LC environment.
  • The K column, Enterprise Client, is the recommended value for that setting in the EC environment.
  • The L column, SSLF, is the recommended value for that setting in the SSLF environment.

To make the spreadsheet easy to read, additional columns were used to illustrate the hierarchy of objects within the Group Policy Editor. Columns A through G are used to represent one level each of the hierarchy. For example, Computer Configuration appears in column A, and Security Settings appears in column C. Column I was also inserted to help with readability.
