policies Security settings define the security-relevant behavior of the system. Through the use of Group Policy objects in the Active Directory, administrators can centrally apply the security levels required to protect enterprise systems. When determining settings for a Group Policy object that contains multiple computers, the organizational and functional character of that given site, domain, or organizational unit must be considered. For example, the security levels necessary for an organizational unit containing computers in a sales department would be very different from that for an organizational unit containing finance department computers. Security settings The term security settings is interchangeable with security configuration. Security settings include Security Policies (account and local policies), access control (services, files, registry), event log, group membership (restricted groups), Internet Protocol security Security policies, and Public Key policies. Security templates A security template is a physical representation of a security configuration: a file where a group of security settings may be stored. Windows 2000 includes a set of security templates, each based on the role of a computer: from security settings for low security domain clients to highly secure domain controllers. These templates can be used as provided, modified, or serve as a basis for creating custom security templates. Security configuration tools To define and use security templates, administrators use the Security Templates snap-in. To configure and analyze security locally, administrators use the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in. To configure security centrally in Active Directory, administrators use the Group Policy snap-in. "Success is a journey, not a destination!!"
