Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com.
You need to identify whether a fine-grained password policy is applied to a specific group.
Which tool should you use?
A. Active Directory Sites and Services
B. Authorization Manager
C. Local Security Policy
D. ADSI Edit
Correct Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
Practically the same question as J/Q16, different set of answers.
Use ADSI Edit to determine the value of the msDS-PSOApplied attribute of the specific group:
1. Open the Properties windows for the group in ADSI Edit
2. On the Attribute Editor tab click Filter
3. Ensure that the Show attributes/Optional check box is selected.
4. Ensure that the Show read-only attributes/Backlinks check box is selected.
5. Locate the value of msDS-PSOApplied in the Attributes list.

Defining the scope of fine-grained password policies
A PSO can be linked to a user (or inetOrgPerson) or a group object that is in the same domain as the PSO:
. (…)
. A new attribute named msDS-PSOApplied has been added to the user and group objects in Windows Server 2008. The msDS-PSOApplied attribute contains a back-link to the PSO. Because the msDS- PSOApplied attribute has a back-link, a user or group can have multiple PSOs applied to it.
As stated previously, in Windows Server 2008, a user or group can have multiple PSOs applied to it since the msDS-PSOApplied attribute of the user and group objects has a back-link to the PSO.
