The
Cluster Service
system service controls server cluster operations and manages the cluster
database. A cluster is a collection of independent computers that is as easy to use as a single
computer, but it can be very difficult to manage. Managers see it as a single system, and
programmers and users see it as a single system. The
Cluster Service
spreads data and computation
among the nodes of the cluster. When a node fails, other nodes provide the services and data
formerly provided by the missing node. When a node is added or repaired, the
Cluster Service
software migrates some data and computation to that node. To ensure greater security in the three
environments defined in this guide, disable this service.

The
COM+ System Application
system service manages the configuration and tracking of components
based on COM+. This service is not a requirement for the baseline server policy. Therefore, this
service is configured to

The
Distributed File System
(DFS) service manages logical volumes distributed across a local area
network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) and is required for the Microsoft Active Directory®
SYSVOL share. DFS is a distributed service that integrates disparate file shares into a single logical
namespace. This namespace is a logical representation of the network storage resources that are
available to users on the network. Disabling the DFS service prevents users from accessing network
data through a logical namespace, and requires them to know the names of all the servers and shares
in the environment to access them. The File Server Incremental Group Policy disables the DFS service
to minimize the attack surface of the file servers on the network. For this reason, the
Distributed File
System
setting is configured to
Disabled
in all of the security environments defined in this guide.
Important:
Organizations using DFS on file servers or on NAS server systems to simplify accessing
distributed resources must modify the File Server Incremental Group Policy or create a new GPO to
enable this service.
