How To Configure Access Controls With Active Directory: Page 5 of 6

7 Edit Audit policy settings We also want to edit the audit policy settings to log all the successful and unsuccessful login events along with object access and system events. Select Audit Policy in the Local Policies folder, double-click on Policy Audit Rules and check Define Policy Settings, success and failure. To have users log on interactively, select Edit User Rights from the domain policy/local policy/user right assignment, and enable access to authenticated users from local and network access. To have the new policy to take effect and the domain policy as well as group policy changes applied immediately for the server, you can reboot or issue the line commands: >secedit /refreshpolicy user_policy /enforce and >secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce. To check if the domain policy has been enforced, open the local policy MMC snap-in and check that Local Security policy settings have been enforced to be the same as the domain policy settings.

8 Access Control Test As we log on as John Doe for the first time, the account policy in place will prompt us to change the password. If we try entering a blank password, we should be prompted with an error message. Once John Doe logs on as a member of the sales group, he is granted rights to change the security policy. We can change the Sales Policy Security Properties for authenticated users to give away the only rights previously set (read only), thereby denying access to other users. We then log on as IT User and try to access the Sales Policy to change security settings. Since we are not allowed to do that, we should be prompted with the error message as shown.
