The Services and Service Accounts Security Planning Guide is designed to be an important resource when organizations plan their strategy to run services more securely under the Microsoft® Windows Server 2003™ and Windows® XP operating systems. It addresses the common problem of Windows services that are set to run with highest possible privileges, which an attacker could compromise to gain full and unrestricted access to the computer or domain, or even to the entire forest.

This guide can help organizations assess their existing services infrastructure and make some important planning decisions in relation to future service deployments.
