Introduction to Active Directory Backup and Recovery Active Directory is the identity foundation of your Windows environment. Domain controllers store the AD database (NTDS.DIT), SYSVOL folder, and the Registry System State. A comprehensive backup and recovery strategy must account for all three components. Windows Server 2019 includes Windows Server Backup (wbadmin) as a built-in tool […]
Introduction to Active Directory Auditing Active Directory is the authentication and authorization backbone of most Windows enterprise environments. Any changes to AD objects—user creations, group membership changes, permission modifications, login failures—can indicate insider threats, compromised accounts, or misconfigurations. Windows Server 2019 provides granular auditing capabilities through Advanced Audit Policy that let you capture exactly what […]
Introduction to the Active Directory Recycle Bin Accidentally deleted Active Directory objects—users, groups, computers, and OUs—have historically been a serious administrative headache. Before Windows Server 2008 R2, recovering a deleted object required either restoring from backup or performing an authoritative restore of Active Directory, both of which are time-consuming operations that can impact production services. […]
Introduction to Fine-Grained Password Policies The Default Domain Password Policy in Active Directory applies uniformly to every user account in the domain. While this simplicity is convenient, it creates a security problem: a helpdesk technician and a Domain Administrator are held to the same password standard. Fine-Grained Password Policies (FGPPs), introduced in Windows Server 2008 […]
Introduction to Active Directory Password Policy Enforcing a strong password policy is one of the most fundamental security controls in any Active Directory environment. Windows Server 2019 provides a Default Domain Password Policy applied through Group Policy, which governs all accounts in the domain unless overridden by Fine-Grained Password Policies. This tutorial walks through configuring […]
Introduction to PowerShell Remoting PowerShell Remoting enables administrators to run commands and scripts on remote Windows Server 2019 machines as if they were running locally. Based on the WS-Management protocol (WinRM) and the Web Services for Management (WSMan) standard, PowerShell Remoting provides encrypted, authenticated remote management over HTTP (port 5985) or HTTPS (port 5986). Unlike […]
Introduction to Event Log Management on Windows Server 2019 Windows Event Log is the centralized logging system in Windows Server 2019 that records system events from the operating system, applications, security subsystem, and applications. Effective event log management involves configuring appropriate log sizes, setting up log forwarding for centralized collection, filtering events for analysis, creating […]
Introduction to Compliance Configuration on Windows Server 2019 Configuring Windows Server 2019 for compliance involves implementing technical controls that satisfy the requirements of regulatory frameworks such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, and DISA STIGs. Compliance configuration encompasses access controls, encryption, auditing, patch management, system hardening, and documentation. Windows […]
Introduction to Privileged Access Management Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a security practice and set of technologies designed to protect privileged accounts and limit the attack surface exposed by administrative access. On Windows Server 2019, PAM can be implemented using Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) PAM, which is the enterprise-grade solution, or through a layered approach […]
Introduction to Advanced Audit Policy Advanced Audit Policy Configuration in Windows Server 2019 provides granular control over security auditing beyond the basic nine audit categories available in legacy audit policy settings. Using Advanced Audit Policy, administrators can enable individual subcategories independently, allowing specific events to be audited without enabling entire categories that generate excessive log […]
