Implementing the Naval Postgraduate School's Security Policy Using Windows 2000

Abstract

When the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) fully migrates to Microsoft Windows 2000 as the primary operating system on desktop PCs and servers, security configuration will be a major concern. Windows 2000 provides a consolidated tool set as a means to securely configure these systems. It also provides a pre-configured list of security templates that may be applied when initially configuring different types of systems. The purpose of this thesis is to provide: (1) brief overview of the Microsoft Windows 2000 security architecture, (2) a description of the Windows 2000 Security Configuration Tool Kit and how to configure security settings, (3) a discussion on security policy and how it effects security configurations, (4) recommendations on how to translate the Naval Postgraduate School's Security Policy into Windows 2000 security settings, and (5) recommendations on a pre-configured, security template for all students attending NPS.
