, Objectives
3.1 Configure user accounts and group policies
3.2 Configure account policies
3.3 Create password settings objects
3.4 Work with service accounts
• User accounts have two main functions:
• Provide a method for user authentication to the network
• Provide detailed information about a user
• On local computers, user accounts are stored in the Security Accounts Manager
(SAM ) database
• A network running Active Directory should limit the use of local user accounts
on client computers
• User accounts created in Active Directory are referred to as “domain user
accounts”
, Creating and Configuring Group Policies (1 of 2)
• GPO - a list of settings administrators use to configure user and computer
operating environments remotely
• GPO scope - defines which objects a GPO affects
• When AD is installed, two GPOs are created and linked to two containers:
• Default Domain Policy - lined to the domain object and specifies default settings for all
users and computers in the domain
• Default Domain Controllers Policy - linked to the Domain Controllers OU and specifies
default policy settings for all domain controllers in the domain
