Scenario. You are Mara Okonkwo, the part-time IT contractor for Lindgren & Pace Studio, a small architecture firm. The reception workstation STUDIO-WS04 is a standalone machine — it is not joined to a domain, so domain Group Policy cannot reach it. Harden it locally with the Local Security Policy console so casual sign-ins and brute-force guessing are discouraged. Open Account Policies in the left tree, then set each policy to the target shown in the checklist on the right.
