First, if you apply a group policy on those computers, that will override any local machine policy. If you can access the domain controller check the Group Policy Management Console and click the setting tab on those policies to view the settings. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro?

As part of your security strategy, you can create GPOs with security settings policies configured specifically for the various roles in your organization, such as domain controllers, file servers, member servers, clients, and so on.
You can create an organizational unit OU structure that groups devices according to their roles. Using OUs is the best method for separating specific security requirements for the different roles in your network. This approach also allows you to apply customized security templates to each class of server or computer. After creating the security templates, you create a new GPO for each of the OUs, and then import the security template.
Importing a security template to a GPO ensures that any accounts to which the GPO is applied automatically receive the template's security settings when the Group Policy settings are refreshed. On a workstation or server, the security settings are refreshed at regular intervals with a random offset of at most 30 minutes , and, on a domain controller, this process occurs every few minutes if changes have occurred in any of the GPO settings that apply.
The settings are also refreshed every 16 hours, whether or not any changes have occurred. This approach makes it simple to update a number of servers with any additional changes required in the future. For devices that are members of a Windows Server or later domain, security settings policies depend on the following technologies:. The Windows-based directory service, AD DS, stores information about objects on a network and makes this information available to administrators and users.
By using AD DS, you can view and manage network objects on the network from a single location, and users can access permitted network resources by using a single logon. The infrastructure within AD DS that enables directory-based configuration management of user and computer settings on devices running Windows Server. By using Group Policy, you can define configurations for groups of users and computers, including policy settings, registry-based policies, software installation, scripts, folder redirection, Remote Installation Services, Internet Explorer maintenance, and security.
This allows users, computers, and applications to query DNS to specify remote systems by fully qualified domain names rather than by IP addresses. A part of the Windows operating system that provides interactive logon support.
Winlogon is designed around an interactive logon model that consists of three components: the Winlogon executable, a credential provider, and any number of network providers. Security configuration interacts with the operating system setup process during a clean installation or upgrade from earlier versions of Windows Server. A Windows service used during the logon process. SAM maintains user account information, including groups to which a user belongs.
A protected subsystem that authenticates and logs users onto the local system. LSA also maintains information about all aspects of local security on a system, collectively known as the Local Security Policy of the system. A feature of the Microsoft Windows operating system, WMI is the Microsoft implementation of Web-Based Enterprise Management WBEM , which is an industry initiative to develop a standard technology for accessing management information in an enterprise environment.
WMI provides access to information about objects in a managed environment. An enhanced Group Policy infrastructure that uses WMI in order to make it easier to plan and debug policy settings. RSoP provides public methods that expose what an extension to Group Policy would do in a what-if situation, and what the extension has done in an actual situation. This allows administrators to easily determine the combination of policy settings that apply to, or will apply to, a user or device.
The following components are associated with Security Settings: a configuration engine; an analysis engine; a template and database interface layer; setup integration logic; and the secedit. The security configuration engine is responsible for handling security configuration editor-related security requests for the system on which it runs.
The analysis engine analyzes system security for a given configuration and saves the result. The template and database interface layer handles reading and writing requests from and to the template or database for internal storage.
The security configuration logic integrates with setup and manages system security for a clean installation or upgrade to a more recent Windows operating system. Security information is stored in templates. Provides the client-side interfaces to the security configuration engine and provides data to Resultant Set of Policy RSoP.
The security configuration engine also supports the creation of security policy files. The primary features of the security configuration engine are scecli.
Communication between parts of the Security Settings extension occurs by using the following methods:. On domain controllers, scesrv. This is the client-side interface or wrapper to scesrv. It is used by Setup to configure default system security and security of files, registry keys, and services installed by the Setup API. The command-line version of the security configuration and analysis user interfaces, secedit. You use this tool to configure security settings in a Group Policy Object for a site, domain, or organizational unit.
This is a permanent system database used for policy propagation including a table of persistent settings for rollback purposes. A user database is any database other than the system database created by administrators for the purposes of configuration or analysis of security. Green Tech. MVP Award Program. Video Hub Azure.

For example, in the Azure Security Benchmark initiative, some policies are provided for you to enable only if they meet a specific regulatory or compliance requirement for your organization.
Such policies include recommendations to encrypt data at rest with customer-managed keys, such as "Container registries should be encrypted with a customer-managed key CMK ". Select the subscription or management group for which you want to enable the recommendation and policy.
From the dropdown list, change the value for the corresponding policy to AuditIfNotExists or Enforce. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported. Download Microsoft Edge More info.

Note If there is a label "MG Inherited" alongside your default policy, it means that the policy has been assigned to a management group and inherited by the subscription you're viewing.
Note When you view assigned policies, you can see multiple assignments and you can see how each assignment is configured on its own. Note Remember that a management group applies its policies to its subscriptions. Submit and view feedback for This product This page.
