Windows Server® 2012 Unleashed

Local Security Policy

The local security policy of a system contains the only configured policy settings on newly deployed Windows systems. Settings such as user rights assignments, password policies, Windows Firewall with advanced security settings, and system security settings are managed and configurable within the local security policy. Furthermore, the local security policy can be exported from one system as a single text file and imported to other systems to simplify security configuration in workgroup environments and to customize security for new system deployments.
