AD Delegation of Administration Windows 2008

AJ

Hi Folks

Can anyone tell me if delegation of administration has been improved
in Windows 2008 AD or if there is anything majorly different from
Windows 2003 AD. Do the old best practices still ring true?

TIA

AJ

Hello AJ,

Forget to mention, better use this NG in the future:
microsoft.public.windows.server.active_directory

Not "limited" for 2000, as you see also the 2000 AD NG will be monitored.
But the above one is for all OS version used from anybody.

Best regards

Hi AJ,

Unfortunately, there are no noteworthy improvements in this area in Windows
Server 2008. We did recieve numerous requests for improving specific aspects
of delegation, but due to time and resources constraints many of these had to
be postponed.

I do hope that you guys did find the simple tools like dsrevoke and the
delegation paper useful, which we worked hard to deliver at our earliest
convenience.

Some of us have personally made contributions to make improvements in this
area. For starters, in order to help IT admins better understand the many
aspects of delegation, I commissioned the development of a website to provide
comprehensive information on this subject to the community - <a
href="http://www.activedirsec.com">http://www.activedirsec.com</a>.

In addition, at Paramount Defenses Inc, we have developed and delivered the
world's only accurate delegated access asessment, verification and reporting
solution for Active Directory, called the <a
href="http:/www.paramountdefenses.com/goldfinger.php">Gold Finger</a>.

With <a href="http://www.activedirsec.com">http://www.activedirsec.com</a>
and <a href="http:/www.paramountdefenses.com/goldfinger.php">Gold Finger</a>,
we hope to help organizations efficiently and effectively assess, lockdown
and maintain secure Active Directory delegations, which are fundamental to
organizational security.

This is a very important and sensitive subject from a security perspective,
and we hope wish organizations well in their efforts to run a secure Active
Directory infrastructure based on the principle of least privilege.

Best wishes,

one important change is you now can configure what permissions the owner of
an object gets.

with regards to how to delegate, nothing has changed.
