Applying security template files

 

Windows 2000 supports text-based security template files that we can use to apply uniform security settings to one or more computers with the Security Configuration and Analysis MMC snap-in. In particular, Windows 2000 supplies several templates that include a range of security settings with the aim of providing specific levels of security. These include compatible, basic, secure, and highly-secure.

Be aware that applying one of these templates might affect the security settings applied to WebSphere MQ files and directories. If you want to use the highly-secure template, configure your machine before you install WebSphere MQ. If you apply the highly-secure template to a machine on which WebSphere MQ is already installed, all the permissions you have specifically set on the WebSphere MQ files and directories are removed. This means that you lose Administrator and mqm group access and, when applicable, Everyone group access from the error directories.
