Various Security Settings (All)

[rayj00]

Hi folks.

I'm fairly new to the security world for the various flavors of Windows. I have a few questions on capabilities for the various flavors including DCAD servers Domain Security Policy.

I'll list them out and patiently wait for your response.

Can out of the box Windows do the following:

- List of users currently logged on (DCAD)

- Prompt users to change password after password lifetime has expired and disable account if user fails to change their password. (client and/or server)

- Incorrect login (entered 3 times) information will lock out that port for 60 seconds (client/server?)

- 30 days of inactivity disables user account

That's about it for now. Thanks and I really appreciate your responses.

List of users logged on --- I dont think "logged on" is really meaningful. Authentication is an instantaneous thing. On the other hand, if your user is connected to a resource, such as a shared folder, you could see how many users are connected to that folder.

- You can setup a policy which requires your users to change their passwords after so many days.

- You can lockout a username after so-many authentication failures within a small time period.
