CREATING AN ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT HIERARCHY IN THIS PROCEDURE, YOU CREAT...

3. When creating a GPO for an organizational unit called Servers, you define a par­

ticular audit policy and configure it to audit successes only. When creating a GPO

for an organizational unit called Infrastructure, which is a child of the Servers organ­

izational unit, you configure the same policy to audit failures only. What is the

effective value of that policy for a computer object in the Infrastructure container?

a. Undefined

b. Success only

c. Failure only

d. Success and Failure

Lesson Summary

When creating security configurations for servers that perform specific roles, you

can build on your secure baseline configuration.

An Active Directory object can receive policy settings from multiple GPOs and

apply them in a particular order.

Active Directory objects do not contain GPOs; they are only linked to them. You

can link a single GPO to multiple objects and make global changes by modifying

that single GPO.

Organizational unit objects inherit policy settings from the GPOs applied to their

parent objects.

Policy settings from a GPO linked directly to an object take precedence over set­

tings inherited from a parent object’s GPO.

Case Scenario Exercise

You are the network infrastructure design specialist for Litware Inc., a manufacturer of

specialized scientific software products, and you have already created a basic network

design for their new office building, as described in the Case Scenario Exercise in

Chapter 1. You are currently designing a security infrastructure for the company’s com­

puters running Windows Server 2003. The servers running Windows Server 2003 on

the network are as follows:

Three Active Directory domain controllers also running the DNS Server service

with Active Directory-integrated zones

Four file and print servers

Six Web servers running IIS

Your first task is to create a GPO for a baseline installation. This baseline GPO leaves

the audit and Event Log policies undefined but uses the System Services policies to dis­

able the following services:

Alerter

Network DDE DSDM

Print Spooler

Application Management

ClipBook

Remote Access Auto Connection Manager

Distributed File System

Remote Access Connection Manager

Distributed Transaction Coordinator

Removable Storage

Fax Service

Routing And Remote Access

Indexing Service

Secondary Logon

Internet Connection Firewall (ICF)/

Smart Card

Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

License Logging

Task Scheduler

Messenger

Telephony

NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing

Telnet

Network DDE

Uninterruptible Power Supply

The baseline GPO also enables the following Security Options policies:

Devices: Restrict CD-ROM Access To Locally Logged-on User Only

Devices: Restrict Floppy Access To Locally Logged-on User Only

Interactive Logon: Require Domain Controller Authentication To Unlock Workstation

Microsoft Network Client: Digitally Sign Communications (Always)

Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communications (Always)

To deploy the baseline GPO, you create a new organizational unit called Servers in

your Active Directory domain. You then create four organizational units beneath Serv­

ers, called DomCtrlrs, DHCP, FilePrint, and WebSvrs. Your plan is to create a GPO with

role-specific settings for each of these four containers.

Based on this information, answer the following questions:
