First, configure Internet Access to DNS in Windows Server 2003
SUMMARY This step-by-step guide explains how to configure Internet access for the Domain Name System (DNS) in Windows Server 2003 products. DNS is the core name resolution tool used on the Internet. DNS is responsible for resolution between host name and Internet address. How to start running Windows Server 2003 independent servers from running Windows Server 2003 to become a network's DNS server. The first step is assigned a static Internet protocol (IP) address for the server. The DNS server should not use dynamically assigned IP address because the dynamic changes of the address will make the client to lose contact with the DNS server.
Step 1: Configure TCP / IP Click Start, point to Control Panel, point to Network Connections, and then click Locally. Click Properties. Click Internet Protocol (TCP / IP). , Then click Properties. Click General tab. Click the following IP address and type the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address in the appropriate box. Click Advanced, then click the DNS tab. Click additional main and connect specific DNS suffixes. Click to select the parent suffix checkbox for the attached primary DNS suffix. Click to select Address check box to register this connection in DNS. Note that the DNS server running Windows Server 2003 must specify its DNS server as it itself. If the server needs to resolve the name of its Internet Service Provider (ISP), you must configure a forwarder. How to configure the repeater section later in this article will discuss the forwarder. Click OK three times. Note: If you receive a warning from the DNS Cache Resolver service, click OK to close the warning. The cache restriction is trying to contact the DNS server, but you have not completed the configuration of the server.
Step 2: Install the Microsoft DNS server Click Start, point to Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs. Click Add or Remove the Windows Components. In the component list, click Network Services (but do not select or clear the check box), then click Details. Click to select the Domain Name System (DNS) check box, and then click OK. Click Next. After getting prompt, insert the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. When the installation is complete, click Finish on the Windows Component Wizard page. Click Close Close Add or Remove Programs Window.
Step 3: Configure the DNS server to configure DNS using the DNS management unit in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), follow these step xx: Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS. Right-click the forward search area and click New Area. When the New Area Wizard starts, click Next. Then you will be prompted to select the area type. Regional types include: Main Areas: Creating a copy of the area that can be updated directly on this server. This area information is stored in a .dns text file. Auxiliary area: Standard auxiliary zone copy all information from its main DNS server. The primary DNS server can be an Active Directory area configured for zone, primary zone or auxiliary area. Note that you cannot modify regional data on the auxiliary DNS server. All data is copied from the primary DNS server. Stub area: The stub area contains only the resource records required to identify the authoritative DNS server of the region. These resource records include Name Server (NS), Start Authorizec (SOA), and possible GLUE host (a) records. There is also an option for storage area in Active Directory. This option is only available when the DNS server is a domain controller. The new forward search area must be a regional or Active Directory area so that it can accept dynamic updates. Click Main, then click Next. The new area contains the locator records based on Active Directory domain. The area name must be the same as the name of the Active Directory, or the logical DNS container of the name. For example, if the name of the Active Directory domain is "support.microsoft.com", the valid area name can only be "support.microsoft.com". Accept the default name of the new area file. Click Next. Note: Experienced DNS administrators may want to create a reverse search area, so I suggest this branch of their drilling wizards. DNS servers can parse two basic requests: positive search requests and reverse search requests. Positive search is more common. Positive search parsing the host name into an IP address with "A" or host resource record. Reverse Search is parsed to a host name with PTR or pointer resource records. If you have configured the reverse DNS area, you can automatically create associated reverse records when you create the original positive record. 2. How to remove the root DNS area Run the Windows Server 2003 DNS server follows a specific step in its name resolution process. The DNS server first queries its cache and then checks its area record, then send the request to the forwarder, and finally use the root server to try parsing. By default, the Microsoft DNS server is connected to the Internet to use root prompts to further process DNS requests. When using the DCPROMO tool to upgrade the server to a domain controller, the domain controller requires DNS. If you install DNS during the lifting process, you will create a root zone. This root area indicates that it is an root Internet server. Therefore, your DNS server does not use a forwarder or root prompt during the name resolution. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS. Expand ServerName, where ServerName is the name of the server, click Properties, and then expand the forward search area. Right click on "." Area and click Remove.
3, how to configure the forwarding of Windows Server 2003 to make full use of DNS repeater. This feature forwards DNS requests to an external server. If the DNS server cannot find a resource record in its area, you can send a request to another DNS server to further try to resolve. A common situation is a forwarder configured to your ISP's DNS server. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS. Right-click on ServerName, where ServerName is the name of the server and then click the Forwarder tab. Click a DNS domain in the DNS domain list. Alternatively, click New, Type the name of the DNS domain you want to forward the query in the DNS field, and then click OK. In the transponder IP address box of the selected domain, type the IP address of the first DNS server you want to forward. , Then click Add. Repeat step 4, add the DNS server you want to forward. Click OK .4, how to configure the root prompts Windows can use the root prompt. The root prompt resource record can be stored in the Active Directory or text file (% systemroot% / system32 / dns / cache.dns). Windows uses standard Internet server. In addition, when the server running Windows Server 2003 queries the root server, it will update itself with the latest root server list. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS. Right-click ServerName, where ServerName is the name of the server, then click Properties. Click the Root Tips tab. The root server of the DNS server is listed in the Name Server list.
5. How to configure the DNS Agent and Network Address Translation (NAT) device after the firewall can limit access to ports. DNS uses UDP port A and TCP ports 53. The DNS Service Management Console also uses RCP. RCP uses port 135. These problems may happen when you configure DNS and firewalls.
Second, configure the remote domain for Internet Information Services SMTP Message Relay Server in Windows Server 2003
SUMMARY This article describes how to configure remote domains for the Internet Information Services (IIS) "Simple Mail Transfer Protocol" (SMTP) mail relay server.
IIS in Windows Server 2003 includes a fully fully equipped SMTP virtual server, you can use this server to transfer emails on your internal network. The SMTP virtual server can also be used to accept emails from the Internet. Although SMTP services do not provide easy access to mail retrieval mechanisms, it is important for accepting emails from Internet and relating to SMTP / POP3 servers from Internet. For the domain to which the computer belongs, as well as other domains, you can configure the SMTP virtual server to accept emails.
Independent servers with running SMTP services are a good security measures because of the isolation layer between enterprise mail servers and inbound connections from the Internet. The stand-alone computer based on Windows Server 2003 will isolate the server from the Active Directory security boundary of the internal network. You can configure a stand-alone SMTP virtual server to use your company mail server as your smart host. You can then configure a separate SMTP virtual server to relay only messages sent by the remote domain. In this way, all other emails will be rejected, not successful.
1. How to configure a stand-alone IIS SMTP server to relay the "Internet Information Service Manager" or open the Internet Information Services (IIS) management unit. Expand the server name, where the server name is the name of the server, then expands "Default SMTP Virtual Server". Right-click on the domain, point to New, and then click Domain. Click Remote, and then click Next. Type the name of the new remote domain in the Name box. You can specify a single domain or use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard (asterisk must be at the beginning of the name, and you want to separate the asterisk with the other part of the name) to specify multiple domains. For example, if you need a remote domain to receive other domains .com and all its subdomains, you can use the name *. Other domain .com. Click Finish. In the right pane, right-click the new remote domain just created, then click Properties. Click General tab. Under "Select appropriate settings for remote domain", click the "Allow Inbound Mail" check box, select it, so that the SMTP server can be used as a mail relay. Under Routing Domain, click "Forward all messages to smart host" and type the IP address of the company's mail server of the internal network or fully qualify the domain name (FQDN). If you use an IP address, you must use parentheses "[]" to enclose the IP address. For example, [nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn]. Click OK. Stop and start the SMTP virtual server. To do this, right-click the Default SMTP Virtual Server, and then start.
2. After the troubleshooting is configured, all messages sent to the remote domain name will be relayed to your configured smart host. Unable to pass messages will be stored in the inetpub / mailroot / badmail folder
Third, configure local domain for Microsoft SMTP services in Windows Server 2003
SUMMARY This step guide shows how to configure local domains for SMTP services in Windows Server 2003. This article describes how to change the name of the default domain, configure the alias domain, and specify the DROP folder. The SMTP service domain is used to organize messages to be passed. The SMTP virtual server has at least one domain: the default local domain. The local domain is a domain name system (DNS) domain that serves the local SMTP server. The message to the SMTP server contains the local domain name or transferred to the DROP folder locally, or returns to the sender together with the unpaid (NDR) report.
1. How to rename the default domain default domain is used to give a statement from a message that does not contain domain. The SMTP virtual server must have a default domain. This default domain cannot be deleted. By default, the name specified in the Computer Name tab of the Control Panel System Tool is used as the default domain name. You can also specify a unique name as the default domain name for the SMTP service.
2. To rename the default domain, follow these step xx: Start the Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS) manager or open the IIS management unit. Expand server_name, where server_name is the name of the server and then expands the desired SMTP virtual service (for example, the default SMTP virtual server). Click the domain. In the right pane, right click on the default domain and click Renaming. Type the name you want to use and press Enter. Exit the IIS manager or turn off the IIS management unit.
3. How to configure the alias domain name domain is the alias of the default domain. You can use the same settings as the default domain to set the alias domain. The message of the album domain received by the SMTP service is placed in the DROP folder specified by the default domain. To configure a different domain, follow these step xx: Start the IIS manager or open the IIS management unit. Expand server_name, where server_name is the name of the server and then expands the desired SMTP virtual service (for example, the default SMTP virtual server). Right-click on the domain, point to New, and then click Domain. "New SMTP Domain Wizard" started. Click Alias, and then click Next. In the Name box, keys into the name of the name, and then click Finish. Exit the IIS manager or turn off the IIS management unit. 4. How to specify a DROP folder For the default domain, you must specify a folder that places all incoming messages. The SMTP service puts the message of the other name domain in the DROP folder used by the default domain. By default, the DROP folder is located in the Inetpub / Mailroot folder. You can specify any folder as a DROP folder, as long as the folder is a local folder on a computer that is installed in the SMTP service, and is not specified as a Pickup folder. To change the location of the DROP folder, follow these step xx: Start the IIS manager or open the IIS management unit. Expand server_name, where server_name is the name of the server and then expands the desired SMTP virtual service (for example, the default SMTP virtual server). Click the domain. In the right pane, right-click the default domain and click Properties. Click Browse, find and click the folder you want to use as a DROP folder, and then click OK. Click OK.
Fourth, configure the packet filter support for the PPTP VPN client in Windows Server 2003
Summary This article describes how to configure packet filtering for PPTP VPN clients. Windows Server 2003 "Routing and Remote Access" service supports virtual private network (VPN). The VPN client can create a "Route and Remote Access" service that is based on Windows Server 2003-based "Route and Remote Access" service VPN, "Point Tunnel Protocol" (PPTP), "IP Security" (IPSec). Server security tunnel. In this way, the client becomes a remote node on a private network. Multi-Hosting "Routing and Remote Access" service VPN servers with external interfaces that are directly connected Internet interfaces can use packet filtering to protect internal networks from external attacks. The best way to configure the data package filter in the secure environment is to use the minimum privilege principles: discard all all packets other than the clearly allowed packets.
How to configure PPTP filters to allow communication PPTP for PPTP VPN clients to be a commonly used VPN protocol because it is safe and easy to set. You can easily deploy PPTP in a pure Microsoft environment and a hybrid environment. You can configure Windows Server 2003-based "Routing" service VPN servers to discard non-PPTP packets by using the Packet Filter.
How to configure a PPTP input filter to allow an inbound communication from a PPTP VPN client to start, point to program, pointing to Administrative Tools, and then click Routing and Remote Access. In the left pane of the Routing and Remote Access console, expand the server, then expand the IP route. Click General, right-click the external interface, and then click Properties.

How to configure a PPTP output filter to allow an outbound communication to the PPTP VPN client to start, point to the program, point to Administrative Tool, and then click Route and Remote Access. In the left pane of the Routing and Remote Access console, expand your server and expand the IP route. Click General, right-click the external interface, and then click Properties. Click the General tab, click Outbound Filter, and then click New. Click the Source Network check box to select it. In the IP Address box, type the IP address of the external interface. In the Subnet Mask box, type 255.255.255.255. In the protocol box, click TCP. In the source port box, type 1723, and then click OK. Click "Discard all packages to meet the except for the following" option. Click the "Source Network" checkbox, select it. In "IP address" In the box, type the IP address of the external interface. In the Protocol box, click Other. In the Protocol Number box, type 47, and then click OK.
Note: After completing these changes, only PPTP communications can enter and externally interface to the "Routing and Remote Access" service VPN server. These filter support communicates with the PPTP VPN client that invokes the entry station to the Route and Remote Access service VPN server.
5. Configuring network security for SNMP services in Windows Server 2003
SUMMARY This step-by-step guide describes how to configure network security for "Simple Network Management Protocol" (SNMP) service in Windows Server 2003. The SNMP service plays a role in the agent, which collects information that can be reported to the SNMP management station or console. You can use SNMP services to collect data and manage computers based on Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows XP, and Microsoft Windows 2000 throughout the company network. Typically, the method of protecting communication between SNMP proxy and SNMP management stations is to specify a shared community name to these proxy and management stations. When the SNMP management station sends an query to the SNMP service, the request side's community name is compared to the community name of the agent. If you match, it indicates that the SNMP management station has passed authentication. If you do not match, it indicates that the SNMP agent thinks that the request is "failed access" attempt and may send a SNMP trap message. The SNMP message is sent in clear manner. These plain text messages are easily intercept and decode the "Microsoft Network Monitor". Unauthorized people can capture the community name to get important information about network resources. IP Security Protocol (IPSec) can be used to protect SNMP communication. You can create an IPSec policy that protects communication on TCP and UDP ports 161 and 162 to protect SNMP transactions.
Creating a Filter List To create an IPSec policy that protects the SNMP message, first create a list of filters. The method is: Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Local Security Policy.
