ISS Technology Update Volume 7, Number 1 Terminal Services Terminal Services provides a security-enhanced, easy-to-manage platform for delivering access to centrally managed applications and resources. Terminal services includes Terminal Services Application and Terminal Services Gateway. • Terminal Services Application: allows users to access standard Windows-based programs from anywhere by running them on terminal server rather than on their client computer. • Terminal Services Gateway: provides authorized users with secure, encrypted access over the internet to terminal services on the corporate network. IIS7 IIS7 provides a security-enhanced, easy-to-manage platform for developing and reliably hosting Web applications and services. IIS7 includes 40 different setup components that a user may choose to install. Only a small subset of components is installed by default. These include enhancements to the following components: • Security • Administration tools • Configuration and deployment • Diagnostics .NET Framework 3.0 .NET Framework 3.0 is based off of .NET framework 2.0 Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that include new technologies for building applications. It is an application development and execution environment that includes programming languages and libraries designed to work together to create Windows client and internet-based applications that are easier to build, manage, deploy, and integrate into other networked systems. .NET Framework 3.0 includes several enhancements: • Displays appealing user interfaces • Provides technologies to protect customer's personal identity information • Enables seamless and secure communication • Provides the ability to model a range of business processes A solid business foundation Network Access Protection (NAP) and Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) provide a solid business foundation. NAP NAP is a policy enforcement platform that allows you to protect network assets by enforcing compliance with system health requirements. With NAP, you can create customized health policies that validate computer health before allowing access or communication, that automatically update compliant computers to ensure ongoing compliance, and, optionally, that confine noncompliant computers to a restricted network until they become compliant. NAP includes an application programming interface (API) set for developers and vendors to create complete solutions for health policy validation, network access limitation, and ongoing health compliance. AD RMS AD RMS works as a client/server system in which an AD RMS server issues rights account certificates that identify trusted entities such as users and services that are permitted to publish rights-protected content. For example, a user can add a condition to an email message so that it may not be forwarded to others. AD RMS includes many features: • Read-Only Domain Controller, which includes a read-only replica of the AD Database 3
