Lab 5-6 Policies

 

Have me check off the requirements below. Fill out the information on the second part of the lab report. Turn this in if you would like credit on this lab.

 

Policies allow you to control how your users access things in the domain. There are TONS of policies you can set in Windows Server 2003!

  1. Go into Active Directory Users and Computers.
  2. Create a new OU named Lab5-6
  3. Create a user named Policy User with a username of PUser.
  4. Right click on your OU and select properties.
  5. Click the Group Policy tab.
  6. Create a new policy named Lab5-6.
  7. Edit this policy.
  8. Note:
    1. Computer configuration policies apply to your computers. I.E. you could set up an OU called “Kiosks” and set the shell for your kiosk computers that customers surf on in the lobby of your business to iexplore.exe, have a specific website, set Internet Options to high security, deny access to logoff, etc.
    2. User configuration policies apply to your users. Here you can control things like proxy servers, wallpapers, etc. Lots of fun stuff!
    3. You’ll find your best settings in Administrative Templates.

 

Turn on both your workstation and your servers for this lab.

 

Complete this lab on your own.

 

1.       I want you to set five computer policies and five user policies that were not set in the last lab. Apply these policies to a new organizational unit named “Policy Practice”. Each partner should choose five different policies to set. Just make sure they don’t conflict!

2.       Create a document in Word or Excel. For each these policies, tell me:

a.      What the policy is.

b.      What the policy does.

c.       How this policy affects users.

d.      How this policy ensures security.

3.       When you have finished, create a new user within Policy Practice named Lab122b. Have Lab122b test all of your policies to ensure they are working.

4.       To test computer policies, you will have to move the computer account for your workstation into the Policy Practice OU.

5.       Have me check off your lab ONLY after you have completed the writing part of the lab.
