Which of the following choices best defines the Windows NT security account manager?

A.
It is the portion of the GINA DLL that controls security

B.
It is the database containing
the identity of the users and their credentials

C.
It is the name of the machine responsible
for the management of all the security of the LAN 1D0-470

D.
It is the interface that is responsible for logging on and user IDs

Explanation:
The Windows NT security account manager, a.k.a “the SAM” is a set of files that make up the database where user and password information is stored.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The GINA DLL is called to process the logon request. It is only the logon interface that interacts with the user. Eventually the information gathered has to be compared to the SAM, so GINA DLL may USE the SAM, but it does not fit as a definition of the SAM.
C: The machine(s) in Windows NT responsible for security on the LAN is either the Windows NT machine itself (if using local security) or a PDC/BDC domain controller if using Domain accounts. The name of any such machine does not fall in the definition of the SAM.
D: Since the GINA DLL is part of that interface, see the explanation in A above.
