Administering Windows Server 2012 — Question 20

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
All user accounts for the marketing department reside in an organizational unit (OU) named OU1. All user accounts for the finance department reside in an organizational unit (OU) named OU2.
You create a Group Policy object (GPO) named GPO1. You link GPO1 to OU2. You configure the Group Policy preference of GPO1 to add a shortcut named
Link1 to the desktop.
You discover that when a user signs in, the Link1 is not added to the desktop.
You need to ensure that when a user signs in, Link1 is added to the desktop.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Enforce GPO1.
• B. Enable loopback processing in GPO1.
• C. Modify the Link1 shortcut preference of GPO1.
• D. Modify the Security Filtering settings of GPO1.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because adjusting the Security Filtering settings of GPO1 allows the policy to apply to the intended user accounts in OU2. If the security filtering does not include the user accounts, the GPO will not apply, which is why Link1 is not appearing on the desktop. The other options do not directly address the issue of ensuring that the GPO applies to the correct users.
