Win2k3 Simple Policy Question
We are trying to define domain security policies and within the defaulted security policy MMC there are limited configuration options. I know I am overlooking something simple, but where did all of the security/policy/user controls go? They were concentrated within this MMC in Win2k Server but appear to have been changed.
Please point me in the right direction
Thank you

Go into Active Directory Users and Computers and right click on your domain name. This will give you the default policy for your domain. Another option is to download the group policy management tool from Microsoft. It lays out all of your policies in one place. Much easier to manage that way. Just go to Microsoft or Google and search for group policy management console. I think what you're looking at now is the default domain controllers policy or default domain security policy.

The default domain policy applies to all OU's below, to control User / computer policies you should create additional GPO's at a lower level, these will give you more options than the default domain policy.
For instance create an OU called users below the domain level, and apply the GPO to that OU.
