Abstract
The security configuration tool set is a collection of security configuration and management programs included in Windows 2000. The primary goal of each of these components is to make it easier to manage enterprise-wide security parameters. The administrator can group the Tool Set components together into a single Microsoft management console (MMC) and manage security for the entire enterprise from a central location. This chapter introduces the functions and uses of Windows 2000 Security Configuration Tool Set. The tool set is a response to systems administrators' need for a central, easy-to-use program that allows the configuration of domain, organizational unit, and local security. It makes possible to configure and manage various security parameters from a single, centralized interface. In addition to conveniently bringing together widely disparate programs into a single interface, the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in allows the administrator to analyze a local machine's current configuration. This analysis can be performed against security templates, so that the network manager can compare the present configuration to a proposed ideal configuration, which can, then be applied with a couple of simple clicks of the mouse.
