You need to create a Group Policy Object (GPO) named GPO1 that only applies to a group named MemberServers.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

To create a GPO named GPO1 that only applies to a group named MemberServers, you can follow these steps:

On a domain controller or a computer that has the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) installed, openGroup Policy Managementfrom theAdministrative Toolsmenu or by typinggpmc.mscin the Run box.

In the left pane, expand your domain and right-click onGroup Policy Objects. SelectNewto create a new GPO.

In theNew GPOdialog box, enterGPO1as theNameof the new GPO and clickOK. You can also optionally select a source GPO to copy the settings from.

Right-click on the new GPO and selectEditto open theGroup Policy Management Editor. Here, you can configure the settings that you want to apply to the group under theComputer ConfigurationandUser Configurationnodes. For more information on how to edit a GPO, seeEdit a Group Policy Object.

Close theGroup Policy Management Editorand return to theGroup Policy Managementconsole. Right-click on the new GPO and selectScope. Here, you can specify the scope of management for the GPO, such as the links, security filtering, and WMI filtering.

Under theSecurity Filteringsection, click onAuthenticated Usersand then click onRemove. This will remove the default permission granted to all authenticated users and computers to apply the GPO.

Click onAddand then type the name of the group that you want to apply the GPO to, such asMemberServers. ClickOKto add the group to the security filter. You can also click onAdvancedto browse the list of groups available in the domain.

Optionally, you can also configure theWMI Filteringsection to further filter the GPO based on the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) queries. For more information on how to use WMI filtering, seeFilter the scope of a GPO by using WMI filters.

To link the GPO to an organizational unit (OU) or a domain, right-click on the OU or the domain in the left pane and selectLink an Existing GPO. Select the GPO that you created, such asGPO1, and clickOK. You can also change the order of preference by using theMove UpandMove Downbuttons.

Wait for the changes to replicate to other domain controllers. You can also force the update of the GPO by using thegpupdate /forcecommand on the domain controller or the client computers. For more information on how to update a GPO, seeUpdate a Group Policy Object.

Now, you have created a GPO named GPO1 that only applies to a group named MemberServers. You can verify the GPO application by using thegpresult /rcommand on a member server and checking theApplied Group Policy Objectsentry. You can also use theGroup Policy Resultswizard in theGroup Policy Managementconsole to generate a report of the GPO application for a specific computer or user. For more information on how to use the Group Policy Results wizard, seeUse the Group Policy Results Wizard.
