Four measures to strengthen Windows 2003 security

Windows 2003 is increasingly favored by users for its stable performance, but in the face of emerging new viruses, you still need to strengthen Windows 2003 security.

1. User Password Settings

Setting a password for a key can largely avoid password attacks. The character length of the password setting should be more than 8 characters, preferably a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters, such as "psp53, @pq", "skdfksadf10@", etc., which can effectively prevent brute force cracking. It is best not to use your own birthday, mobile number, phone number, etc. as a password.

2. Delete the default share

Click Start→Run, type gpedit.msc and press Enter to open the Group Policy Editor. Expand User Configuration→Windows Settings→Scripts (Login/Logout), double-click the login item, and then add “delshare.bat” (parameters do not need to be added) to delete the Windows 2003 default share.

Next, disable the IPC connection: open the Registry Editor, expand the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Lsa] branch, and find the "restrictanonymous" subkey in the right window to change its value. It is "1".

3. Turn off the autoplay function

The autoplay feature works not only on the optical drive, but also on other drives, which can be easily exploited by hackers to perform hacking.

Open the Group Policy Editor, expand "Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → System", find the "Close Auto Play" option in the right window and double click, select "Enabled" in the dialog box that opens. Then select "All Drives" from the drop-down menu after "Automatically Close Auto" and press "OK" to take effect.

4. Clear remotely accessible registry path

Set the remotely accessible registry path to null, which prevents hackers from using the scanner to read system information and other information from the computer through the remote registry.
Open the Group Policy Editor, expand "Computer Configuration → Windows Settings → Security Settings → Security Options", find "Network Access: Remote Access to the Registry Path" in the right window, and then open the figure In the window, all the remotely accessible registry path and sub-path content are deleted. Four moves to enhance Windows 2003 security.
