Learn how to secure key Win2K areas
Whether you're looking for stronger security or greater reliability, you might be considering upgrading your Windows NT 4.0 servers to Windows 2000. The good news is that Win2K is inherently more secure than NT—but that doesn't mean you can simply deploy Win2K and expect to have a completely secure system. Keeping on top of your system security is as important in Win2K as it is in NT. However, in Win2K, you have much less up-front security work to do, and as long as you have a plan, good security is within your reach.
In this multipart series about security considerations for migrating from NT to Win2K, you'll discover the most important concerns to keep in mind during migration. In the first installment, you'll learn about the steps you take to initially configure Win2K: Patch the system, disable services, and enable basic security policies. In future installments, you'll learn about new features, such as Encrypted File System (EFS), Active Directory (AD), and IP Security (IPSec), and you'll learn how to approach and implement security with these new features. . . .
