 Hi all,

I am about to deliver a Windows Operating System training for junior IT
Auditor. What would be the top 5 topics in Windows that all IT auditor should
know?
I was thinking maybe
1) File/Folder permission
2) Active Directory because this is heart of Windows 2003. Obviously this
includes
Group Policy.
....
Any idea what else should be included?

 an extension of what you've mentioned...

what events to audit (eg file access, logon events etc) - which should
be set via group policy, and some of which is AD anyway.
Identifying dead user/computer accounts within AD i would class as
quiet important
patching - and using tools susch as SCCM/WSUS to automate (and
reporting of current patch status)
basic port scanning etc (i realise isnt directly windows - but its a
rich tapestry and all that stuff)
DNS
secured entry points (obviously firewall, but also spam/virus scanning
of incoming mail etc)
backup security (where tapes are stored etc)

it's hard to keep it to windows only... easier to think of it as
anything that will touch your windows boxes.
