RE: securing a segment of a network

Separate your network with VLANs.
You havent specified why the auditors thought two separate domains would be
a security benefit, as trusts between the domains can also be circumvented.
The easiest way to segregate networks and still be able to work efficiently
is to use VLANs.

Subject: securing a segment of a network

Im facing a problem here in my network. Due to an auditory, some years ago I
had physically split my network in 2, with 2 windows domains. One network is
for administrative tasks: accoutning, etc. The second, for the educational
side of my office.
Here is the problem. When we were ordered to do so, we didnt took into
cosideration that we didnt and  we would never have the resources to keep 2
domains operating with some decent reliability. For example, I just have one
domain controller for each domain. I do not have and I wont be allowed to
buy more domain controllers. When one domain controller breaks, or windows
fails (yes, I have seen Windows 2000 shutdown and never wake up again
without any cause) the whole domain is lost.
So, Im planning to join both domains in a single one, but I need some sort
of protection for the PCs running accounting tasks so I can please the
future auditors.  what can you recommend?
