How to Secure Windows Server 2003

First of all i want to say nothing is to be secure 100% because every lock have the key.
Security is an increasingly important topic for network administrators. It's an ongoing battle to make sure you've installed all of the latest updates along with keeping up to date with all of the developing threats. Properly securing server begins with planning. When you're deploying Windows Server 2003, now i am going to give you some tips you can use them to protect your window server 2003.

There's an old proverb stating that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. This is saying is especially true when we are talking about a network's chain of security mechanisms. we know a lot of people who spend countless hours making sure that every packet flowing across the network is authenticated and encrypted, all of the files on the server's hard disk have the proper permissions assigned to them in manor way . Such measures are important, but the fact is that the vast majority of hacks are perpetrated by using legitimate user accounts

In most networks, the user accounts themselves are by far the weakest part of the network's entire security infrastructure. Then a hacker only needs to know two pieces of information (a user name and a password) to be able to access anything on entire network. Sure, encrypting all of the packets as they flow across the wire will help to prevent a hacker from sniffing passwords, but there are plenty of other ways that hackers can acquire passwords.
oldest password acquisition methods still works to That day. That's a brute force crack. Like I said, hacker must have a Id and a password in order to gain full access to network resources. Of course, Microsoft was kind enough to provide the hackers with the ID name for you; Administrator. That means that hackers only need to figure out the Administrator's password in order to gain access to your network.
Microsoft has long recommended that we changed name of Administrator account so that hackers won't know what it is. The problem is that even if you change the account name, the account's SID remains the same. Since Microsoft uses a specific SID for the Administrator account, it's fairly easy to figure out what the account has been renamed to, just by examining the SIDs. In fact, there are even GUI utilities that can automatically tell you what name the Administrator's account is using.

What is DNS Server,What is the Purpose of DNS Server,and Introduction of DNS Records

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a standard technology for managing the names of Web sites and other Internet domains. DNS technology allows you to type names into your Web browser like compnetworking.about.com and your computer to automatically find that address on the Internet. A key element of the DNS is a worldwide collection of DNS servers

A DNS server is any computer registered to join the Domain Name System. A DNS server runs special-purpose networking software, features a public IP address, and contains a database of network names and addresses for other Internet hosts

DNS Introduction : The internet works because every computer that is connected to it, all use the same protocol to communicate and to route traffic.Without this universal protocol the networks that make up the internet would not be able to route the information to the correct destination.

Network service used to TCP/IP network to translated HOST name to IP address,Every computer or device connected to the computer has an address. They are usually written in the form of four numbers separated by dots, as in: 192.168.0.1 These addresses are used by the routers on the Internet to send information from one place to another. They provide the destination address for each little packet of information sent. How that works doesn't really matter to us for now; it only matters that it works.

DNS RECORDS :

Starts of Authority Records(SOA Records) : SOA is a start of authority records,There are several interesting items in this record, only a couple of which we're concerned with here,Which is first record of DNS, which control the startup behavior DNS ,we can configure TTL , refresh, and retry intervals in this records,This SOA record identifies what is the best source of information for data within the domain. SOA contains the current version of the DNS database, and various other parameters that define the behavior of a particular DNS server.

Host Resources records(HR Records) : It resolve HOST name to IP address,It store computer name of the network of their respective IP address.

Name Service Records(NS Records) : An NS (name server) record allows you to delegate a sub domain of your domain to another name server,It contain name all DNS server,NS R Rs are required because DNS queries respond with an authority section listing all the authoritative name servers, for sub-domains or queries to the zones parent where they are required to allow referral to take place.

Mail Exchange Records(MX Records) : It is use for e-mail Exchange server to deliver to mail query the Mail exchange resources record is used by e-mail application to locate a mail server within a Zone, A zone can have one or more Mail Exchange (MX) records. These records point to hosts that accept mail messages on behalf of the host. A host can be an 'MX' for itself. MX records need not point to a host in the same zone,Additionally an MX record has a host name to allow email addresses with sub domains. The host name is usually left blank to specify the mail server for the domain name on its own.

Pointer Records(Pointer Resources Records) : It resolve IP address to FQDN(fully qualify domain name) so it is reserves of Host records,Pointer (PTR) records are used only in reverse domains. There must be exactly one PTR record for each Internet address.

Service Location Resource Records (SRV Records) :Service Location Resource Records are used to specify the location of specific service in domain.

Microsoft Windows Server help

Microsoft Windows Servers are general-purpose operating systems and therefore are often used to provide a range of network services to other systems. Examples include file and print services, web, application and email. ITS strongly suggests that wherever and whenever possible departments should avoid providing these services and to instead rely upon either ITS or UIT to provide them. Any one of the aforementioned services can greatly increase the administrative tasks and security implications associated with system maintenance, taking valuable machine and human resources away from the systems primary function.
