Active Directory Configuration and Security SOP

Purpose

Deploy and harden AD DS, DNS, Group Policy, privileged administration and recovery.

Decision Summary

Keep Domain/Enterprise/Schema Admin membership minimal and temporary. Separate daily and privileged identities.

Use Cases

New forest/domain, domain controllers, DNS-integrated AD, GPO baseline and domain hardening.

Hardware Requirements

Supported server, secure management path, current backup and adequate workload capacity.

Backup Strategy

Export permissions and back up configuration/application data before material changes.

Recovery Strategy

Use approved break-glass access or restore known-good configuration; revoke unintended access and validate.

Secure Boot Notes

Keep Secure Boot enabled where supported; access administration does not require disabling it.

Version History

v1.0 — 2026-08-04 — Initial controlled SOP.
