      This guide provides guidance to allow for the secure installation and configuration of Windows XP Professional in accordance with the Windows 2003/XP Security Target (ST). The Windows 2003/XP Security Target, henceforth referred to as the Windows 2003/XP ST, provides a set of security requirements taken from the Common Criteria (CC) for Information Technology Security Evaluation. The Windows XP Professional product was evaluated against the Windows 2003/XP ST and found to satisfy the ST requirements. This guide is targeted at those responsible for ensuring that the installation and configuration process results in a secure configuration. For the purposes of this document, a secure configuration, henceforth referred to as the Evaluated Configuration, is one that enforces the requirements presented in the Windows 2003/XP ST.

      The required configuration settings specified by this document are used explicitly to achieve the Evaluated Configuration. Microsoft also produces the “Windows XP Security Guide” (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=14839) and the “Threats and Countermeasures: Security Settings in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP” guide (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=15159), which may be used to determine the recommended settings that an organization may wish to apply. Most of the recommended settings defined in this document were derived from a review of the Windows XP Security Guide and Threats and Countermeasures document, along with other material identified in the Reference section of this document.
