Getting Started with Windows Server Security

Creating and implementing security policies

At this point, you have installed SCM and are familiar with the basic administration tasks. From this section onwards, you will be working on a real-world scenario where you will be exporting a policy from Active Directory, importing into SCM, merging with an SCM baseline, and importing back into Active Directory. In Chapter 1, Operating System and Baseline Security, you created a web server policy using SCW and imported it into Active Directory. In this section, our goal is to export this web server policy and merge it with an SCM baseline and import it back into Active Directory.
