...Lab 6 Assessment Worksheet 1. What are the available password policy options that could be enforced to improve security in a group policy object? * Enforce password history, Maximum password age, Minimum password age, Minimum password length, and Passwords must meet complexity requirements 2. How would you set security permission and user access rights on a home computer using windows XP professional or similar that is not a member of the domain? * When a Windows PC is not a member of the domain, the ONLY user accounts it will trust are those it finds in its local security database. 3. Why is the use of the different password policy options available and why is it important to implement complexity and length requirements? * A password policy sets certain standards for passwords, such as the password complexity and the rules for changing passwords. A password policy minimizes the inherent risk of using passwords by ensuring that they meet adequate complexity standards to thwart brute force attacks and they are changed frequently enough to mitigate the risk of someone revealing or discovering a password. 4. Microsoft defines user rights in two types of categories: logon rights and privileges. Explain the difference of the two from an access control perspective? * Logon rights control who is authorized to log on to a computer and how they can log on. Privileges control access to system-wide resources on a computer and can override the permissions...
