Since the binary was distributed via group policy, gaining access to the domain controller would be pivotal.

D: DCEast01 is listed as a Domain Controller running Windows Server 2016. Domain Controllers are critical in a Windows environment as they manage the network's security, including user authentication and Group Policy management. Group Policy is a feature in Active Directory (which is managed by Domain Controllers) that allows administrators to push configurations, including software installation and scripts, to multiple computers in the domain. If a threat actor compromised the Domain Controller, they could use Group Policy to distribute ransomware or other malicious binaries to all systems within the domain.
