Question for Roger Abell

Hi Roger,

I've seen some old posts from you in which you mention that the
Security Templates and Security Configuration and Analysis snap-ins
are fairly buggy. I've already encountered one problem (I mentioned
it a few weeks ago -- the SCaA does not always apply the "inherit from
parent" permission on some folders). And in one of your posts you say
that sometimes a security template will not be saved (even if you tell
it to save) until after you close the MMC. Do you remember what other
problems there are?

I'm going thru the Windows 2000 Security Hardening Guide, and it
recommends the use of the SCaA to apply some of the included security
templates. Do you know if the problems you are aware of have been
fixed? If so, have they been fixed only for Windows XP, or have they
been fixed for Windows 2000 as well?

Thanks!
