In Focus: Free Security eBooks ==== by Mark Joseph Edwards, News Editor, mark at ntsecurity dot net You know that learning more about security is an ongoing process. Plenty of online resources--such as countless articles and white papers from a long list of businesses and individuals--can help you along the way. One particular type of resource that might interest you is eBooks. Numerous free security-related eBooks are available online, and this week, I want to tell you about a few of them that you might find useful. The first eBooks I want to mention are in our own Windows IT Library. We have several titles available right now and more in production. Some of the titles include "A Guide to Group Policy," "Content Security in the Enterprise--Spam and Beyond," "A Guide to Windows Power Tools," and "Preemptive Email Security and Management." You can download individual chapters or even entire books in .pdf format. http://www.windowsitlibrary.com/ebooks Another ebook you might find interesting is the independently published "IIS Security and Programming Countermeasures." Written by Jason Coombs, the book is available for download as a set of text files in one .zip file. You can read more about it in the related news story on our Web site. http://www.winnetmag.com/article/articleid/38829/38829.html Another great resource for eBooks is Realtime Publishers, which publishes a long list of titles, many of which pertain to security. A few of the titles you'll find at Realtime's Web site are "Email Management and Security," "Identity Management," "Windows 2000 Security," "Blocking Spam with Sender Validation," "Securing .NET Server," and "Email Protection." http://cc.realtimepublishers.com/rtp.asp Microsoft's Security Guidance Center, particularly the Products and Technologies Index, offers books, articles, and checklists that cover all of Microsoft's enterprise products. Subject matter includes older products, such as Windows 98; newer products, such as Windows Server 2003; and just about everything in between, such as Microsoft Exchange Server, IIS, Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server, SQL Server, and Systems Management Server (SMS).

Security Toolkit ==== FAQ: Displaying Property Tabs in the AD Snap-in by John Savill, http://www.winnetmag.com/windowsnt20002003faq Q: Can I restore missing property tabs in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in? A. If you use the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in on a remote computer (such as a Windows XP workstation), you might notice that certain tabs are missing--for example, Published Certificates, Object, and Security. To display the tabs, select View, Advanced Features. The Dial-in tab is also missing, but you can't display the Dial-in tab on a remote XP workstation that uses the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. If you need to edit the options on the Dial-in tab, you can use Windows 2000 Server Terminal Services to log on to a domain controller (DC) and set the options on the remote workstation from the DC. Featured Thread: VPN Solutions (Two messages in this thread) Roy is looking for some help with setting up a VPN. His network uses Windows Server 2003 with Active Directory (AD) and a Cisco Systems Cisco PIX 515E firewall that connects to the Internet through a 256Kbps leased line. Roy's company would like to provide worldwide access to company data and email for 10 to 15 people who use Windows XP and Windows 2000. Roy wonders how much of an exposure these remote users will be and would like an inexpensive VPN solution.
