Netlogon security

Netlogon security includes the following measures: The verification of the identity of users at logon to the local network as well as the standardization of the user account database for a domain in a single user account database, copies of which are stored on all servers in the domain. With Trust Relationship, you can also access shared resources in other domains. See also Netlogon.
