Working with Security Templates

When you consider customizing security templates, you need to know how to access them to make the changes and adjustments. Although security templates are simple text files, it is common to use a tool—the Security Templates snap-in—to access and configure them. However, you need to use a text editor like Notepad if you want to edit these text files to make custom changes to the security templates.

Security Templates Snap-In

The most common method of accessing, configuring, and modifying the security templates is to use the Security Templates snap-in. This snap-in is accessed through the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
