Hardening an Exchange Server 2003 Environment (Part 2)

Tags:
application servers

Overview When hardening a messaging server, it makes sense to harden the underlying operating system first. Fortunately Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 introduced a neat tool, the Security Configuration Wizard (SCW). This tool is not installed automatically with SP1, instead one must go to Add/Remove Windows Components and select to install it. This paper covers the infrastructure aspects of security, namely what can be done to harden servers in particular and your network in general.
