To administer the local security policy of a local or remote system, you must call the LsaOpenPolicy function to establish a session with that system's LSA subsystem. LsaOpenPolicy connects to the LSA of the target system and returns a handle to the Policy object of that system. You can use this handle in subsequent LSA function calls to administer the local security policy information of the target system.
