A company has 10,000 client computers that run Windows 7. The company has a single domain Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest with domain controllers that run Windows Server 2008 R2. Users have local administrative rights on client computers.
You need to design a Group Policy solution that deploys a printer and enforces printer settings.
What should you recommend? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)
A.
Use the Local Security Policy.
B.
Use Group Policy preferences (GPPs).
C.
Use a Group Policy object (GPO) Windows setting.
D.
Use Starter Group Policy objects (GPOs).
Explanation:
Group Policy preferences, new for the Windows Server 2008 operating system, include more than 20 new Group Policy extensions that expand the range of configurable settings within a Group Policy object (GPO). These new extensions are included in the Group Policy Management Editor window of the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), under the new Preferences item. Examples of the new Group Policy preference extensions include folder options, mapped drives, printers, scheduled tasks, services, and Start menu settings.In addition to providing significantly more coverage, better targeting, and easier management, Group Policy preferences enable you to deploy settings to client computers without restricting the users from changing the settings. This capability provides you with the flexibility to decide which settings to enforce and which settings to not enforce. You can deploy settings that you do not want to enforce by using Group Policy preferences.
