Where are the local security settings stored in Windows 2000 server?

Various places. Mostly in various places in the Windows registry, which
itself is stored in various files in various places. However, there is also
Group Policy, which is stored in various other places [depending on whether
the policy is local or from active directory] and can control the registry
values. Googling those terms will give you more info.

Some registry files are in C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\ and in the ntuser.dat
file in the user profile [for example "c:\Documents and
Settings\username\ntuser.dat"]. Some local group policy files are kept in
c:\windows\security\. But then you view and modify these values using
REGEDIT.EXE and the MMC, Group Policy snap-in.
 
Thank You!!!!
