The first guide is a broad baseline security guide that is appropriate for
most installations. It is the foundation for the more specific role-based
guidance that's described in the second guide. The third guide is specific
to the Windows 2000 configuration that attained Common Criteria certification.

Generally we recommend you follow the first and use the specific recommendations
from the second that are appropriate for your environment. Use the third
(rather than the others) only if you have a need to exactly duplicate CC
settings (which is generally not necessary).
