STIG Description
This STIG is applicable for all Windows 2008 servers with the Windows Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). The settings required by each check will be applied to each Domain Controller running the AD DS. The system must also be reviewed using the Windows 2008 (or 2008 R2) and the Active Directory Domain STIGs. Also, if a forest architecture is implemented, a security review using the Active Directory Forest STIG is required.
