CompTIA Security+ Administration and Delegation Features

By Pamela W. Allen


It's no secret that administering one or two thousand users could be a massive task that will take lots of time. Not only is it a giant job, but it can be rather complex. Without the power to del- egate some of the abundant jobs that need to be conducted each day, your job would be very dif?cult.

It's because of this that nearly every day Microsoft is trying to incorporate solutions that make our lives as directors a lot easier. Let's have a look now at some of the great new roles you can incorporate in your design, such as Active List Rights Management Services (AD RMS).

MCITP Server Administrator is a real heavyweight apropos the new features of Windows Server 2008. With AD RMS, an organisation can give its users some executive control over their individual documents and ?les, including office documents and mails.

In addition, with AD RMS, directors and users can create privilege templates that can be defaulted for certain abilities in the environment. For example, a director could create a ?read-only?tem - plate that users could apply to a brief that they?d enjoy making available on a shared drive somewhere in the organization.

The most important point you want to keep in mind for AD RMS in an environment is this: Active Catalog Rights Management Services needs a database server. If you're planning an environment and your organization doesn't plan to include some variety of database server, you cannot employ this feature.

Firewall exceptions (see Table 1.7) One AD RMS server per forest

TABLE 1.7 AD RMS Port Exception Necessities

Port Exception Outline

80 HTTP port utilized for web traffic and communication

443 HTTPS port utilised for secure HTTP

1433 Microsoft SQL server port for database communication

It is important to mention that AD RMS is not as easy to install as you may think.
