filtered or targeted

Settings that are configured by GP Preferences within a GPO can be ______, or ______, based on several criteria.

1. You can copy and paste entire GPOs in the GPO container of the GPMC so that you have a new GPO with all the settings of the source GPO. 2. To transfer settings between GPOs in different domains or forests, right-click a GPO and choose Back Up. In the target domain, create a new GPO, right-click it, and choose Import Settings to import the settings of the backed-up GPO.

There are two other ways to copy settings from one GPO into another, new GPO:

tattooing

This is often called _____ the registry—making a permanent change.

inherited

The default behavior of GP is that GPOs linked to a higher-level container are ______ by lower-level containers.

1. A centralized definition of a change or setting. 2. A definition of the users or PCs to whom the change applies, called the scope of the change. 3. A mechanism that ensures that the setting is applied to users and PCs within the scope.

The key elements of configuration management are:

%SystemRoot%\System32\GroupPolicy

The local GPO exists whether or not the PC is part of a domain, workgroup, or non-networked environment and is stored in ______.

policy

1. Copy 2. Back Up 3. Restore From Backup 4. Import Settings 5. Save Report 6. Delete 7. Rename

Introduced in Win Server 2008 and Win Vista, preferences provide more than ______ to help you manage an incredible number of additional settings.

right-click the domain or OU in the GPME and choose Block Inheritance

A domain or OU can be configured to prevent the inheritance of policy settings. To block inheritance, do the following:

1. The user interface (UI) is locked so a user cannot change the setting. 2. Changes are made in one of four keys in the registry reserved for managed policy settings: 3. Changes made by a GP setting, and the UI lockout, are "released" if the user or computer falls out of scope of the GPO.

500

By default, a link is considered slow if it is less than ______ kilobits per second (kbps).

one

Computers running Win 2000, Win XP, and Win Server 2003 each have ______ local GPO(s), which can manage configuration of that system.

scoping a GPO

Configuration changes in a GPO do not affect PCs or users in your enterprise until you have specified the PCs or users to which the GPO applies. This is called ______.

Every 90 to 120 minutes, the GP Client service determines which GPOs are scoped to the user or PC and downloads any GPOs that have been updated, based on the GPOs' version numbers. CSEs process the policies in the GPOs according to their policy processing configuration. By default, most CSEs apply policy settings only if a GPO has been updated. Some CSEs also do not apply settings if a slow link is detected.
