Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The domain contains a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016. The computer account of Server1 is an organizational unit (OU) named OU1. You open Group Policy Management as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)
An administrator reports that the settings from GPO1 are not applied to Server1.
You need to ensure that the settings from GPO1 are applied to Server1.
What should you do?
A. Enable the link of GPO1
B. Enforce GPO1
C. Disable Block inheritance
D. Remove the security filtering
answer A. Enable the link of GPO1is correct .
The dimmed “Arrow” on GPO1’s Link to the domain level is actually a disabled link, then the Link of GPO1 will not be inherited to lower level OUs, so that Server1 is not applying settings from GPO1. To resolve the problem, you have to Enable the link, Answer A is correct.
Via lab testing, confirmed that enforcing a disabled link will have no result, therefore Answer B is incorrect.
There is no sign of OU1 is being blocked for policy inheritance, and GPO2 has been successfully inherited to OU1 as seen in the right hand side “Group Policy Inheritance” tab of OU1, therefore Answer C is incorrect.
Security filtering settings (GPO Permissions) will NOT affect the inheritance of a GPO, therefore answer D is incorrect.
