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.
