Most companies run at least some, if not all, Windows computers, and the vast majority also use Active Directory to control the network environment. This includes control over the network, security, and access to resources. It is important to understand that the domain model has changed dramatically from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 and Server 2003. This handbook focuses on the Active Directory infrastructure itself, as well as Group Policy Objects (GPOs). It is ideal whether you have never audited Windows Active Directory or GPOs or if you have done so a couple of times. This handbook will: - Expand your knowledge and push the limits of what your audit program includes. - Expose all of the nooks and crannies that need to be audited.
