The enclosed checklists and scripts are to be used to harden Windows NT servers. You will find checklists for:

  • Domain Controllers
  • Member Servers
  • Web Servers
  • Terminal Servers
The checklists and accompanying scripts were designed to protect against most known scripts, worms, and automated attacks. They were also designed to not break most applications (80/20 rule). We have taken out of these scripts and checklists items that tend to break applications. These scripts were meant for production corporate environments. Some of the things we've taken out reflect the reality of implementing hardening in a production enterprise environment.

We fully support efforts such as the SANS Gold Standard, CIS, NIST, and MS Security Operations Guide. We have developed what we feel is a safe baseline of hardening that can be safely implemented in existing mixed-mode production environments. The hardening also takes the need for system administration into account.

Disclaimer: Make sure to test these checklists and scripts in a development environment before rolling out to production.

The scripts contain references to external programs and commands. We leave it up to you to download, purchase, or otherwise obtain these programs. Please see the read me included in the Zip file for more information.

Please send all feedback on these checklists and scripts to Derek dot Milroy at Corp dash Sec dot net
