Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. All domain
controllers run Windows Server 2012 R2. The domain contains 500 client computers that run
Windows 8.1 Enterprise and Microsoft Office 2013.
You implement a Group Policy central store.
You need to modify the default Microsoft Office 2013 Save As location for all client
computers. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
What should you configure in a Group Policy object (GPO)?
A.
The Group Policy preferences
B.
An application control policy
C.
The Administrative Templates
D.
The Software Installation settings
Explanation:
Group Policy preferences provide the means to simplify deployment and standardize
configurations. They add to Group Policy a centralized system for deploying preferences
(that is, settings that users can change later). You can also use Group Policy preferences to
configure applications that are not Group Policy-aware. By using Group Policy preferences,
you can change or delete almost any registry setting, file or folder, shortcut, and more. You
are not limited by the contents of Administrative Template files.

To download the Office 2013 Administrative Templates, see Group Policy Administrative Template files (ADMX, ADML) and Office Customization Tool (OCT) files for Office 2013.
The Office 2013 Administrative Templates are as shown in the following table.

Nope guys and gals. It’s A.
A indeed!
No need to doubt sysadmin because I added the reg key a few months ago for a few customers of mine 🙂
I also vote for A because we are instructed to minimize administrative effort and the description doesn’t say that we already have the Office 2013 templates installed.
So in this case I think it would be easier to just distribute the necessary reg key via Group Policy preferences than start over with downloading and installing the Office 2013 templates.
Yes, at first I would answer “C” but no where does it say the admin templates are added to the central store already; and to make it even more confusing they do mention the central store. So guess the only answer can be A.
The only answer is A, bc the admin template don’t include a default save location. Read sysadmin’s link…
As a rule of thumb, never assume that you have something that the exercise does not explicitly says you have. Therefore we can’t assume we have Office 2013 Administrative Templates, and no answer gives us the option to install them, so with the information we have we can only choose A.
Yes I will go for A too.
A is the correct answer
C seems like the most logical answer and one I would use if in the real world. But as said there’s no mention of the Office admin templates being installed. Confusingly they do mention you use a central store. Adding that in there is just baiting people to choose the wrong answer.
I have just tried the templates for Office 2013 and I successfully setup a default save as location.
Agreed.

I think its pretty shitty even for MS to make you know in a server exam that there would be template missing for Save As from a set of Office 2013 ADMX. More likely they want to test whether you know that Admin Templates can be extended by downloading extra ADMX.
Sorry guys but i Disagree that A is correct, answer is definitely C.
Why go through the trouble of editing a registry key, this is not the clean way to do it. It is best to use admin templates.
I guess that there’s three points to check.
1 – In the question it states that “The solution must minimize administrative effort.”
2 – By default, there’s no ADM Templates for the Office installed, and there’s no mention that they are indeed installed. So, you’ll have to install it.
3 – In the ADM Template, exist the option to SAVE, and the enunciate ask about “Save As location” so this template wouldn’t work anyway.
Nonetheless, even if I’m wrong about the last part, and the template do work, create a preference to modify a registry entry is considerable less effort than search and download through the internet the template, and then install and configure it.
