Checklist Summary This Active Directory (AD) Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) provides security configuration guidance for the implementation of Active Directory on Microsoft Windows servers deployed within the Department of Defense (DOD). This STIG also provides general guidance for AD maintenance and synchronization products that might be used in conjunction with AD. This document describes security requirements to be applied to implementations of AD in DOD environments. Application of the requirements is intended to provide a certain level of assurance. Individual sites must determine the level of assurance that is appropriate to their environment and mission. This document provides specific security guidance for AD as implemented on computers running the Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003 operating systems. General guidance is provided for products or locally developed solutions that perform AD maintenance and synchronization functions
