Appendix F: Securing Domain Admins Groups in Active Directory

 

Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012

Appendix F: Securing Domain Admins Groups in Active Directory

As is the case with the Enterprise Admins (EA) group, membership in the Domain Admins (DA) group should be required only in build or disaster recovery scenarios. There should be no day-to-day user accounts in the DA group with the exception of the built-in Administrator account for the domain, if it has been secured as described in Appendix D: Securing Built-In Administrator Accounts in Active Directory.

Domain Admins are, by default, members of the local Administrators groups on all member servers and workstations in their respective domains. This default nesting should not be modified for supportability and disaster recovery purposes. If Domain Admins have been removed from the local Administrators groups on the member servers, the group should be added to the Administrators group on each member server and workstation in the domain. Each domain’s Domain Admins group should be secured as described in the step-by-step instructions that follow.

For the Domain Admins group in each domain in the forest:

  1. Remove all members from the group, with the possible exception of the built-in Administrator account for the domain, provided it has been secured as described in Appendix D: Securing Built-In Administrator Accounts in Active Directory.

  2. In GPOs linked to OUs containing member servers and workstations in each domain, the DA group should be added to the following user rights in Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Settings\User Rights Assignments:

    • Deny access to this computer from the network

    • Deny log on as a batch job

    • Deny log on as a service

    • Deny log on locally

    • Deny log on through Remote Desktop Services user rights

  3. Auditing should be configured to send alerts if any modifications are made to the properties or membership of the Domain Admins group.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Removing all Members from the Domain Admins Group

  1. In Server Manager, click Tools, and click Active Directory Users and Computers.

  2. To remove all members from the DA group, perform the following steps:

    1. Double-click the Domain Admins group and click the Members tab.

    2. Select a member of the group, click Remove, click Yes, and click OK.

  3. Repeat step 2 until all members of the DA group have been removed.

Verification Steps

Verify “Deny access to this computer from the network” GPO Settings

From any member server or workstation that is not affected by the GPO changes (such as a “jump server”), attempt to access a member server or workstation over the network that is affected by the GPO changes. To verify the GPO settings, attempt to map the system drive by using the NET USE command.
