USER ACCOUNTS
A user account defines the actions a user can perform in Windows. On a stand-alone
computer or a computer that is a member of a workgroup, a user account establishes the
privileges assigned to each user. On a computer that is part of a network domain, a user
must be a member of at least one group, by default all users are part of the ‘users’ group and
cannot be removed from the group. Permissions and user rights are typically assigned to
groups instead of individual users. By adding a user to a group, you give the user all the
permissions and user rights assigned to that group.
The User Accounts applet allows you to add users to your computer/domain and to add those
users to a group, it also allows you to define the users password, if it has to be changed upon
their first login and a whole other number of variables to do with that account

Use NTFS permissions to specify which users and groups can gain access to files and folders,
and what they can do with the contents of the file or folder. The permissions you assign for
folders are different from the permissions you assign for files. You assign folder permissions
to control the access that users have to folders and to the files and subfolders that are
contained within the folder. The table below lists the standard NTFS folder and file
permissions that you can assign and the type of access that each provides.

USER PROFILES
A user profile defines customized desktop environments, such as individual display, and
network and printer connections settings. You can define your desktop environment for user
profiles. Types of user profiles include:
Roaming profile
Roaming profiles are created by your system administrator and are stored on the Server or
Domain. Having Roaming Profiles allow your profile is available every time you log on to any
computer on the network. Any changes made to your roaming user profile will be updated on
the server.
Mandatory Profile
Mandatory user profiles, are just a roaming profile that has been modified so that it can be
used to specify particular settings for individuals or an entire group of users. Only system
administrators can make changes to mandatory user profiles.

The auditing procedures implemented on the windows 2003 server are as follows.
