ENT News | at | by Mike
While Microsoft has been promoting the security focus of Windows Server 2003 since delaying the operating system release in 2002 for a code review, Microsoft uncovered some specific security features in the OS for the first time last week. Newly disclosed security settings and features include details of some of the services that are disabled or running with reduced privilege by default, a Security Configuration Wizard tool that will be available this summer and new documentation for administrators configuring systems and networks for security. Redmond's promise to lock down Windows Server 2003 out of the box has been one of the promised upgrades of the operating system that has resonated most with users.
