[Q] Beef Up Active Directory Jun 09 2005 12:33AM

Hi!
First post to the list. :)

Now, I'm trying to find some solutions to beef up my Active Directory
environment.
AD, with its Group Policy and other management feature, is like a
swiss-army-knife to satisfy almost all the security requirements for the
member PCs and Servers.
But, I think there is something in need, like controlling peripheral
devices such as removable storage, NIC, and CD-RW.
In addition, as you know, Domain Administrators' rights are so strong
and I think those accounts should be managed carefully
with some powerful authenticating method like OTP, Smartcard, Dongle
Key..whatever.

I found some, commercial, solutions for above requirements and in the
progress of testing

Device Lock from SmartLine : http://www.protect-me.com/dl/
Advanced authentication from Protocom :
http://www.protocom.com/html/securelogin_advanced_authentication.html

What I wnat to know is
1. Any other solutions for these requirements???
2. Any BP(Best Practice) for beefing up AD ??
3. Anything I need to consider more ???

Any Comments will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!

Sincerely *h0w@rd*
