CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 87

An administrator has set up a GPO to disable USB drive access on a company’s servers. The GPO is set up as a computer configuration policy and does not use security groups filtering. The administrator is testing to ensure the policy is working correctly. A server in the accounting OU works as expected, but a server in the sales OU is still allowing access to USB drives. The administrator runs the gpupdate /force command and tries again; however, the server still allows access to the USB drive.

Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

Answer options

• A. The WMI filter is not configured properly.
• B. Item-level targeting is not configured properly.
• C. The scope is not configured properly.
• D. Loopback processing is not configured properly.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The most probable reason for the sales server's continued USB access is an improper configuration of the scope for the GPO. If the GPO is not appropriately linked to the sales OU, the policy will not apply to the server in that OU. The other options relate to different functionalities that are not relevant to the observed issue.
