Additional Reading


  • The Windows 2000 Security Resource Kit (Microsoft Press, 2002) is the definitive source for Windows 2000 security information. There’s a lot of material to absorb here, but it makes a terrific reference.

  • The Security Operations Guide for Windows 2000 is a book-length guide of security practices and settings published by Microsoft. It provides much more detail on good policies and practices, and I encourage you to download it from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/prodtech/windows/windows2000/ staysecure/, read it, and follow it as part of your ordinary security policies.

  • Counterpane Systems maintains a nifty page of log analysis tools and information at http://www.counterpane.com/log-analysis.html.

  • The Windows Scripting Solutions newsletter (http://www.winscriptingsolutions.com) occasionally features articles with useful event log scripts. For example, Dave Roth’s “Progressive Perl for Windows: Taking Advantage of the Event Log” (http://www.winscriptingsolutions.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=16404) includes a number of interesting tips.

  • There’s a terrific site for deciphering event log messages: http://www.eventid.net. Most of the event message descriptions there were posted by other users, so if you encounter an event and have to call Microsoft’s Premier Support Services to find out what it means, be sure to post your findings there for your fellow administrators’ benefit.
