Optimizing domain controller security

Leakproof

Conclusions

In general, the current Microsoft baselines should always form the basis for securing networks with Windows computers. Caution is always required when implementing policies on domain controllers, or you could experience scenarios in which entire Active Directory environments no longer work correctly. Policy Analyzer is a powerful tool that helps you establish security with group policies and lets you compare several GPOs against each other. You do not have to use all settings, but it makes sense to use as many as possible.
