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.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn581922.aspx
The answer is C: For details check out the big fight over this question:

No… it’s A Jeff. Question say “Minimize admin efforts”, and you can do it using a .reg.
I got this link right there in the discuss.

Thanks to sysadmin.
Looks like the link http://trekker.net/archives/set-the-default-save-location-to-computer-in-office-2013/ is being used to say that the answer given is right and the answer given is wrong on all different versions of this dump.
The site clearly says “However, Microsoft chose not to include the option to change the default in Group Policy. The good news is that the settings can be configured in the Registry which means they can be manipulated by Group Policy Preferences.”
Answer is A
See this :
Using the Office 2013 ADMX files, it can’t. For whatever reason, it isn’t included. You can, however, configure it using Group Policy Preferences and the Registry: http://trekker.net/archives/set-the-default-save-location-to-computer-in-office-2013/
Cant believe its A, should be C.
This question is misleading.
Answer A is correct if you do not have the Office 2013 admin templates loaded. So making the registry changes may take less time than loading in the template and then creating an Office 2013 Group Policy.
Answer C is correct if you already loaded the Office 2013 admin template.
I still choose C because working with templates are easier than making registry changes via Group Policy.
I’ve installed the ADMX tools and found a settings for default file location in the policies section of the user configuration section:
for Word:
Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Advanced/File Location/Default File Location
for Excel:
Microsoft Excel 2013/Excel Options/Save/Default file location
I don’t know if Default file location is the right setting, it doesn’t effect all of Office, only those two programs.
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 question request is about “Save As location” so this template wouldn’t work anyway.
Nonetheless, even if I’m wrong about the last part about the template work or not, modify the registry entry is considerable less effort than search and download through the internet the template, and then install and configure it.
The question is asking what GPO will change the default save as location for Office 2013, not specific components of Office 2013. Yes, you can set Word and Excel via admin templates, but Office has more than word and excel. The only to configure all of Office 2013 save as feature is to modify the registry with Group Policy Preferences.
