-# Example: Deploy Security Template
-secedit /configure /db secedit.sdb /cfg "C:\SecurityTemplates\baseline.inf"
-```
-
-## Windows Services
-

-
-# Stop service
-Stop-Service -Name "W3SVC"
-
-# Restart service
-Restart-Service -Name "W3SVC"
-
-# Set service startup type
-Set-Service -Name "W3SVC" -StartupType Automatic
-
-# Create new service (example: run PowerShell script as service)
-New-Service -Name "CustomMonitor" `
-    -BinaryPathName "C:\Scripts\monitor.exe" `
-    -DisplayName "Custom Monitoring Service" `
-    -Description "Monitors system resources" `
-    -StartupType Automatic
-
-# Delete service

-
-# Set service description
-nssm set MyAppService Description "My Application Service"
-
-# Set service startup directory
-nssm set MyAppService AppDirectory "C:\Scripts"
-
-# Set service log file
-nssm set MyAppService AppStdout "C:\Logs\MyApp-output.log"
-nssm set MyAppService AppStderr "C:\Logs\MyApp-error.log"

-## Best Practices
-
-### Windows Administration Best Practices
-
-1. **Security:**
-   - Implement least privilege access (RBAC)
-   - Regular security updates via WSUS
-   - Enable BitLocker on sensitive servers
-   - Use strong password policies
-   - Enable audit logging
-   - Disable unnecessary services and protocols
-
-2. **Active Directory:**
-   - Regular AD backups (System State)
-   - Multiple domain controllers for redundancy
-   - Proper OU structure for GPO application
-   - Regular AD health checks (dcdiag, repadmin)
-   - Implement fine-grained password policies
-
-3. **Monitoring:**
-   - Configure event log forwarding
-   - Monitor critical services
-   - Track failed login attempts
-   - Monitor disk space and performance
-   - Set up alerts for critical events
-
-4. **Automation:**
-   - Use PowerShell for repetitive tasks
-   - Document all scripts and procedures
-   - Implement scheduled tasks for maintenance
-   - Use configuration management tools
-   - Version control for scripts
-
-5. **Backup and Recovery:**
-   - Regular system state backups
-   - Test restore procedures
-   - Document recovery procedures
-   - Offsite backup storage
-   - Verify backup integrity
-
-## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
-
-❌ **Using GUI for repetitive tasks** - Automate with PowerShell
-❌ **Running everything as Domain Admin** - Use least privilege
-❌ **No GPO testing** - Test in development OU first
-❌ **Ignoring Windows updates** - Security vulnerabilities
-❌ **Single domain controller** - No redundancy
-❌ **Default administrator account enabled** - Security risk
-❌ **No audit logging** - Cannot track security events
-❌ **Complex OU structure** - Hard to manage GPOs
-❌ **No documentation** - Tribal knowledge
-❌ **Direct registry edits in production** - Use GPO when possible
