Implement, configure, manage, and troubleshoot
local security policy.
Security
User-level security protects shared network
resources by requiring that a security provider
authenticate a user’s request to access
resources. The domain controller , grants access
to the shared resource by verifying that the
user name and password are the same as those on
the user account list stored on the network
security provider. Because the security provider
maintains a network-wide list of user accounts
and passwords, each client computer does not
have to store a list of accounts.
Share-level security protects shared network
resources on the computer with individually
assigned passwords. For example, you can assign
a password to a folder or a locally attached
printer. If other users want to access it, they
need to type in the appropriate password. If you
do not assign a password to a shared resource,
every user with access to the network can access
that resource.
Local security policies
are based on the computer you are logged into,
and the rights you have on that particular
computer. Local security policies include:
-
Audit policy: which security events
are logged into the Security log.
-
User rights assignment: the users or
groups that have logon or task privileges on
the computer.
-
Security options: enables or disables
security settings for the computer, such as
digital signing of data, Administrator and
Guest account names, floppy drive and CD ROM
access, driver installation, and logon
prompts.
