A. Windows 2000 supplies the IP Security Policies MMC snap-in whichcan be used to modify and create IPSec policies which can then be assigned tocomputers and Group Policy Objects.
To open the snap-in perform the following:
Start the MMC (Start - Run - MMC.EXE)
From the console menu select 'Add/Remove Snap-in' (or press Ctrl+M)
From the Standalone tab click Add
Select 'IP Security Policy Management' snap-in and click Add
Select either 'Local computer' or the domain policy and click Finish. If its for a domain select 'Manage domain policy for this computer's domain'. Click Finish
Click Close to the dialog then click OK
Double clicking the root will display the 3 built-in options
Client (Respond Only)
Secure Server (Require Security)
Server (Request Security)
If you right click on the root you can create a new policy by selecting'Create IP Security Policy'. If you right click on an existing policy and selectProperties you can modify its settings.
