2. If your computer running Windows XP Professional is part of a domain environment
and you configure the Local Security Policies on your computer so that you
assign yourself the Add Workstation To A Domain user right, can you add additional
workstations to the domain? Why or why not?
For the Add Workstation To A Domain privilege to be effective, it must be assigned as part of
the default domain controller policy for the domain, not the Local Security Policy on your computer
running Windows XP Professional.
3. What benefit does the Back Up Files And Directories user right provide?
The Back Up Files And Directories user right improves the security on your system. It allows a
user to back up the system without being assigned file and folder permissions to access all
files and folders on the system. In other words, the person backing up the files can back up
secure files without being able to read them.
4. What are logon rights and what do they do?
A logon right is a user right assigned to a group or individual user account. Logon rights control
the way users can log on to a system.
Lesson 4 Practice
1. What is the name of the Guest account?

Lesson 4 Review
1. How can you require a user to be logged on to the computer to shut it down? (Discuss
using the Welcome screen and using CTRL+ALT+DELETE to log on.)
If Windows XP Professional is configured to use the Welcome screen or CTRL+ALT+DELETE to log
on, by default you do not have to log on to shut down the computer. In the console tree, expand
Local Policies, and then click Security Options. In the details pane, right-click Shutdown: Allow
System To Be Shut Down Without Having To Log On, and then click Properties and click Disabled.
2. By default, Windows XP Professional does not clear the virtual memory pagefile
when the system is shut down. Why can this be considered a security breach and
what can you do to resolve it?
The data in the pagefile might be accessible to users who are not authorized to view that information.
To clear the pagefile each time the system is shut down, in the Local Security Settings
window, expand Local Policies and click Security Options. Right-click Shutdown: Clear Virtual
Memory Pagefile, and then click Properties. Select Enabled.
