■ Local Security Policy is applied to a specific computer, and is the only type of
security policy you can use on computers that are members of a workgroup. You
manage Local Security Policy by using the Local Security Policy tool found in the
Administrative Tools folder. Group Policy, which is applied to sites, domains, and
OUs in an Active Directory environment, affects all computers or users that are
members of the container to which the Group Policy is assigned.
■ Windows XP Professional provides two types of account policies: Password Policy,
which allows you to manage the passwords used on your computer, and
Account Lockout Policy, which allows you determine the number of invalid logon
attempts before a user account is locked out of the computer.
■ User rights allow a user or group to perform a specific action, such as backing up
files or changing the system time. There are two types of user rights: privileges,
which allow users to perform a specific task, and logon rights, which control the
way users can log on to a computer.
