          Ipsec can be used to secure traffic, however Microsoft states that
you can not use it to secure traffic between domain controllers and non
domain controllers (workstations and member servers), at least on Windows
2000 - I am not sure about Windows 2003. So you need to careful with how you
set it up or you can shut down your network if none of the clients can
access a domain controller. What you could do is put your workstations and
member servers in a OU and assign the secure server ipsec policy to it via a
new group policy for that OU. However you would have to add a rule or rules
to it that would exempt the domain controllers by referring to them by their
tcp/ip addresses and using a "permit" instead of a require rule. Windows
XP/2003 has a much advanced ipsec monitoring utility that you can access via
a mmc snap in to see your rules in action. Also keep in mind that the secure
ipsec policy will not allow your computers to communicate with any other
computer outside of your domain. So if you need internet access you would
need to add more rules to the policy permitting outbound access for ports
80,443,53,110,25, etc. See attached links. --- Steve
