security policy templates

in Net Infra 70-291
I had a question on security policies asking to match the correct template to the right OU.

it only asked for basic and default security on the whole network. I had to match the correct policy to the domain.com , dc's ou, clients ou, servers OU. It never said to use Secure or Highsec... so I ended up picking these 'basicdc.inf' and 'basic*.inf' templates which now I'm thinking that these are fake.?? An I shoudl have just used setup security.inf for all OU's ?? Even the domain ?

anyone know what i'm talking about?

I definetally need for review here.

basic*.inf's don't even exist do they?? There not defaults?!?

    I would have to see the exact wording of the question. Sounds like it was worded that could trick you.

    Default security template is never a good idea to deploy through a GPO, as it is quite large.

    To see the default security templates:

    Start > Run > MMC

    File > Add/Remove Snap-In

    Add > Select "Security Templates" > Add > Okay

    Expand the + sign a couple of times and you'll see 8 of them.

    they were probably looknig ot see if you knew yuor templates

    take a look at

    http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/sag_scedefaultpols.mspx?mfr=true

    as you can see there are different levels of security and thus different templates there are also workstation and DC templates for each security level

    security is always a comprimise between securing the system and useability legacy apps generally will not run in if the Highsecws tempalte is applied so you might need ot comprimise the security a bit inorder to have operability

    after all a 100% secure environment doe;snt exist...because yuo could not use the machine
