Your network consists of one Active directory domain. The functional level of the domain is Windows
Server 2008 R2. Your company has three departments named Sales, Marketing, and Engineering. All
users in the domain are in an organizational unit (OU) named AllUsers. You have three custom
applications. You deploy all custom applications by using a Group Policy object (GPO) named
Applnstall. The Sales department purchases a new application that is only licensed for use by the
Sales department. You need to recommend a solution to simplify the distribution of the new
application. The solution must meet the following requirements:
• The application must only be distributed to licensed users.
• The amount of administrative effort required to manage the users must remain unaffected.
• The three custom applications must be distributed to all existing and new users on the network.
What should you recommend?
A.
Create a new child domain for each department and link the AppInstall GPO to each child domain.
Create a new GPO. Link the new GPO to the Sales domain.
B.
Create a new child OU for each department. Link the AppInstall GPO to the Marketing OU and the
Engineering OU. Create a new GPO. Link the new GPO to the Sales OU.
C.
Create a new group for each department and filter the AppInstall GPO to each group. Create a
new GPO. Link the new GPO to the domain. Filter the new GPO to the Sales group.
D.
Create a new group for each department. Filter the AppInstall GPO to the Marketing group and
the Engineering group. Create a new GPO. Link the new GPO to the domain. Filter the new GPO to
the Sales group.
Explanation:
To ensure that the other applications are distributed to all existing and new users on the network,
you need to create a new group for each department and filter the InstallApp GPO to each group.
Filtering allows you to target only specific computers or users. You can create and modify multiple
preference items within each GPO, and you can filter each preference item to target only specific
computers or users. Finally to simplify the distribution of the licensed application to the users of the
sales department, you need to create and link a new GPO to the domain and filter the new GPO to
the Sales group. You should not filter the InstallApp GPO to the Marketing group and the
Development groups only because all the other applications beside the licensed application need to
be installed to the Sales department also.
