Security Setting on Domain Controllers


Recommended Posts

Posted

Our Securiyt team is recommending to setup below settings on Domain

Controller under Local Security Settings. Has any one set below setting on

Domain Controller and experienced any issues? Any cons setting up these

settings on Domain Controller?

 

Local Security Settings:

Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration on SAM accounts=Enabled.

Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration on SAM accounts and

Shares=Disabled.

There is more information on these settings here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823659

 

You're a bit unclear about which computers you're considering changing.

 

The "accounts" policy is enabled by default on clients, disabled on servers,

and has no effect on domain controllers. The "accounds and shares" policy is

disabled by default on all machines.

Changing these two settings on actual Domain Controller server. This is part

of the OTS requirement and they are asking us to make changes on Domain

Controller Server locally.

I thought someone must have already apply these two settings on domain

controller server locally and seen any issues.

 

Thanks

As I said, the "accounts" policy has no effect on domain controllers. The

"accounts and shares" policy already defaults to what your security team

recommends.
