Advice

Securely juggling service admin accounts
[James Michael Stewart]
This tip reviews eight service-focused Active Directory administrator groups and accounts, and also provides seven tips for securing them.


The importance of physical security for DCs
[James Michael Stewart]
No matter how much effort you put into securing a domain controller from a hardware or software perspective, no amount of logical or technical security controls will prevent a security breach if physical access security is not maintained. Find out how to maintain security over domain controllers in this tip.

Help with Runas in Active Directory
[Kevin Reynolds]
Runas works well with some programs but not with Explorer -- you have to log in and out each time. Find out about a free utility called 2xexplorer which can help ease the process.

Ask the expert: How can I support smooth integration of AD with DNS?
[Laura Hunter]
Dear Laura,
We are planning to migrate from Windows NT4.0 to Windows 2003. We have an existing RH Linux-based DNS server with BIND version 8.2.2 which supports SRV records and auto update of records which we'd like to use with AD. I'm not able to find out what entries are to be made in DNS server to support smooth integration of ADs with DNS.
