Title: Module 7 Introduction
Course: CTS 2234 Server Operating Systems > Section: Module 7 - Creating Group and Security Policies

Server groups and security policies are critical in managing resources that are available to users based on the controls network administrators must implement in a domain. A security policy allows specific permissions to be enforced on a group, OU, domain or forest depending on where the policy is installed. Security policies can be deployed in a granular fashion singularly or as multiple security policies in a template to lock down vulnerabilities within a group, OU, domain or forest.

In this module you will create multiple groups and apply security polices using rule based strategies which enforce the security of network resources and provide auditing tools for verification.

- Create and manage groups and security polices
