Checklist Summary This benchmark is intended for anyone using a Windows NT 4.0 operating system who feels at all responsible for the security of that system. A Security Manager or Information Security Officer should certainly be able to use this guide to gather information about the security status of a network of Windows NT 4.0 computers. The owner of a Small Office/Home Office can use this guide as a
straightforward aid in enhancing his or her own personal network security. A Windows System Administrator can use this guide to produce explicit
