# Windows AD (Legacy Version)

## About This Document

The guide outlines the process for applying a Windows Group Policy Object (GPO) to your organization's domain, for the purpose of allowing Epiphany to make remote calls to the local security accounts manager (SAM). 

Allowing Epiphany to enumerate users and groups in the local SAM database and Active Directory within your organization's domain will provide you with a qualitative risk based on your permission boundaries and privilege use.

{% hint style="danger" %}
A WMI filter should be applied to the GPO to ensure the policy is only applied to the specific versions of Windows listed below. \
