NT Deployment goals

• Use same username and password as is used to access the UNIX systems
• Files are stored in same home directory as is used for Win 3.1 and UNIX access
• The local desktop must be secure. User must not be able to alter system files, or install trojan software and/or viruses, whether accidentally or maliciously.
• Consistency. Each NT workstation should work in a consistent manner. Where possible through licensing and equipment capability, each station should also have identical sets of software installed.
• If a user changes settings such as desktop icons, start menu contents, or background colors, those changes should only affect that user.
• The above changes made by a user should automatically be applied to each NT workstation the user logs in to. This is often referred to as "roving profiles."
• Password encryption. The transmission of "clear text" passwords over the network by NT clients during authentication should not be allowed.
