Windows OU-Admin Security


Scope

To explore options and implement a solution to better secure ASUrite Window OU-admin privileges.
Our goals are to:

  • Create a technology environment supportive of system administration best practices.
  • Reduce the exposure to the risks associated with malware on windows machines.
  • Reduce the location and number of user identities on individual Windows Workstations.
  • Using existing and tested technologies, allow safe system administration.
  • Leverage Enterprise facilities for user identity management.
  • Allow strong authentication through standardized protocols.
  • Allow delegation of permission through membership in group or
    role based systems or EDNA controlled services in organizations,
    colleges, departments, etc.
  • Allow hierarchical grants of authorization to specific organizational units to enable control over machines in that unit.
  • Allow and encourage the practice of privilege separation.
  • Minimize the risk associated with regular use of administrative permissions.
