Hello, I've researched Microsoft best practices about LM and NTLM being weak protocols and should not be allowed to be used and the following group policies-<br />
• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Domain member: Require strong (Windows 2000 or later) session key: Enabled. <br />
• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Domain member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always): Enabled. <br />
• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Network Security: LAN Manger authentication level: Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM &amp;&nbsp;NTLM. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Network Security: Do not store LAN Manager hash value on next password change: Enabled. <br />
<br />
Should I enable these in the Default Domain Policy or Default Domain Controller Policy? Also I assume these apply to Machine Policy? If someone can point me to exactly where these should be enabled, I would appreciate it.<br />

It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server.

IT Administration is the processes and best practices for programming and development, and incorporates methodologies for managing activities and projects. Common methodologies include waterfall, prototyping, iterative and incremental development, spiral development, rapid application development, extreme programming and various types of agile methodology. The life-cycle "model" is a more general term for a category of methodologies, and a software development "process" a more specific term to refer to a specific process chosen by a specific organization.
