Taking Additional Security Precautions

AD DS implementations are, in essence, as secure as the Windows Server 2012 environment in which they run. The security of the AD DS structure can be increased through the utilization of additional security precautions, such as secured server-to-server communications using IPsec or the use of smart cards or other encryption techniques. In addition, the user environment can be secured through the use of group policies that can set parameter changes such as user password restrictions, domain security, and logon access privileges.
