Your role of Network Administrator at ABC.com includes the management of the Active Directory Domain
Services (AD DS) domain named ABC.com. The network includes servers that run Windows Server 2012. All
client computers on the network run Windows 7 Professional or Windows 8 Pro.
A group policy object (GPO) is applied to the client computers. The GPO assigns several Windows PowerShell
scripts that run when a user logs in to the client computer. Users complain that it takes a long time for the
desktop to appear when logging on to client computers.
How can you reduce the time it takes for the desktop to appear when users log on to client computers?
A.
By setting the “Run startup scripts synchronously” GPO setting to Enabled.
B.
By setting the “Run startup scripts synchronously” GPO setting to Disabled.
C.
By setting the “Run logon scripts synchronously” GPO setting to Enabled.
D.
By setting the “Run logon scripts synchronously” GPO setting to Disabled.
Right.
Synchronous processing can occur only upon startup and upon user logon. When processing is synchronous, the user doesn’t see the logon screen until computer policy has 100 percent completed processing, and the user doesn’t see the desktop until user policy has 100 percent completed processing. That is why synchronous
processing can make the startup process and the logon process seem slow.
