Giselle, a systems administrator, creates a file redirection GPO, in the User Configuration section that automatically saves files created by her colleagues to a shared network device instead of the local drives in their computers. However, the computers do not receive the configuration specified in the GPO. She runs the gpupdate /force command in the Command Prompt window of one of her colleagues' computer. Despite her effort, the computer does not receive the GPO, and she decides to rectify the issue the next day. To her surprise, she sees that the computer has been configured as per the GPO. What do you see as the issue with the GPO configuration?
A) The GPO was not backed up before the new settings were applied.
B) The settings can only be applied at the next login.
C) The computer had to be rebooted for the application of the GPO settings.
D) The Block Inheritance setting was enabled for the OU that the computers belonged to.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

However, the policy was applied when the user logged in the next day, leading to the unexpected result.
