Overview

In this lab, you followed the Microsoft approach to securing the CIA triad. You created new user accounts and security groups, and applied the new user accounts to the security groups, just as you would in a real world domain. You created nested folders on the remote server and assigned unique file permissions using the new user accounts and security groups. You modified the Windows Group Policy enabling each new user account to use remote desktop services to remotely access the TargetWindows01 server. Finally, you tested the security layers you placed in the previous parts of the lab by using each new user account to access and modify the nested folders on the remote server.
