Does Microsoft Deployment address security policies necessary for desktop and server hardware?
Microsoft Deployment helps companies understand how security policies affect the design of operating system images and also discuss strategies for hardening of desktops and servers. However, Microsoft Deployment is not intended to replace specific security solutions. In parallel with Microsoft Deployment, the Windows Vista Security Guide and Windows Server 2003 Security Guide is available on Microsoft TechNet and from the Microsoft Download Center. Future Deployment accelerator releases will integrate the 2007 Office Security Guide and the Windows Server 2008 Security Guide.
