Explanation:
In order to centralize management and configuration of operating systems, applications, and user
settings in an Active Directory environment, you should implement a group policy.
A group policy that is created by an administrator affects all users on a computer or all users on a
domain. Group policies can be used for defining, customizing, and controlling the functioning of
network resources, computers, and operating systems. They can be set for a single computer with
multiple users, for users in workgroups, or for computers in a domain. Administrators can configure
group policy settings for users as well as for computers in many ways. Group policies can be used to
allow or restrict the access of a particular program by a particular user. It can also be used to
configure the desktop, the Start menu, the taskbar, the Control Panel, and security settings among
other things.

can access files and folders on an NTFS volume.B is incorrect. An account policy controls the password expiration policy, the lockout policy,
and other password features.C is incorrect. An audit policy determines whether security events are written to the
security log in Event Viewer on the computer.
