Security Template filesBlank Password Restriction
– No password, local access only, no Runas– Doesn’t apply to domain or guest accounts
Pro EditionPro EditionLocation aware Group Policy in
ICS/ICF– When a Windows XP Professional computer is a member of a
domain, the domain administrator can enable a group policy preventing the use of Internet Connection Sharing on the corporate network. When you bring your computer home Internet Connection Sharing is available because the policy does not pertain to your home network
Software Restriction Policies– Through GPEDIT.msc or GPO’s. The default rule can be set to
unrestricted or disallowed—essentially "run" or "don’t run." Setting the default rule to "unrestricted" enables an administrator to define exceptions that are just the set of programs that are forbidden to run. A more secure approach involves setting the default rule to disallowed, and specifying only the programs that are known and trusted to run.

Side by side dll’s–Windows XP allows Win32 components and
applications to use the exact version of Microsoft components with which they are tested without being affected by other application or operating system updates. It does this by relying on XML files that contain metadata about application configuration such as COM classes, interfaces, and type libraries.
Kernel Enhancements (Over W2K)– Can backup any size file on any size partition
» Previous paged pool limitation of 470MB
– Larger Device Drivers (960MB vs 220 vs 100) for XP, 2000, and NT respectively
– No Hardcoded registry limit (376MB prev)– Serial and Networking device drivers initialize in parallel
» Results in faster system and application startup; logon
– Faster Hibernate and Resume– 64 bit virtual address space 16EB total;7152GB for
user space (vs 2GB/2GB)

Results of Command Line Tool Analysis
• Approximately 180 tasks defined by category (user management, disk management, …)
• Approximately 80 tools existed for 100 of the 180 tasks • Over 40 command-line tools needed to cover remaining
80 tasks without tools • 11 tools needed to be migrated from the resource kit into
the box • Total of 48 tools added to Windows XP • Better documentation needed for all
Command Line Standards
• Consistent, standard syntax with /? help • Run under Telnet and Terminal Services • Leverage WMI providers whenever possible • Remote machine ( \\UNC) management capability • Allow alternate credentials on remote connections • Most are useable via batch or WSH programming
