STIG Description
This STIG is applicable for all Windows servers if a forest architecture is implemented for the Active Directory (AD). The settings required by each check will be applied to each Forest as a whole. This STIG does not apply if a forest is not implemented. The system must also be hardened using the Windows 2003 (or 2003 R2) or Windows 2008 (or 2008 R2) STIG. The system must also be reviewed using the applicable Windows and AD Service STIG, depending on the Windows version installed on the server. Comments or proposed revisions to this document should be sent via e-mail to the following address: disa.letterkenny.FSO.mbx.stig-customer-support-mailbox@mail.mil.
