Security Options
The Security Options section of Group Policy is used to configure security settings for computers, such
as digital signing of data, administrator and guest account names, floppy disk drive and CD-ROM
drive access, driver installation behavior, and logon prompts. The Security Options settings can be
configured in Windows Server 2003 at the following location within the Group Policy Object Editor:
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options
Not all security groups exist on all types of systems. Also, many security group SIDs are unique
among the domains within the company network. Therefore, the Security Options portion ofGroup
Policy may need to be manually modified on a system where the target group exists. This section
provides details on the prescribed security options for the three environments defined in this guide for
the MSBP.
