Upgrading Your Skills to MCSA Windows Server 2012 — Question 74

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2012 R2.
An organizational unit (OU) named OU1 contains 200 client computers that run Windows 8 Enterprise. A Group Policy object (GPO) named GPO1 is linked to
OU1.
You make a change to GPO1.
You need to force all of the computers in OU1 to refresh their Group Policy settings immediately. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
Which tool should you use?

Answer options

• A. The Set-AdComputer cmdlet
• B. Group Policy Management Console (GPMC)
• C. Server Manager
• D. TheGpupdate command

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) allows you to manage Group Policy Objects and enforce immediate updates across the OU with minimal effort. Options A and C are not designed for this task, and option D, while it can refresh Group Policy, requires manual execution on each client, increasing administrative overhead.
