Actual exam question from CompTIA's SK0-005

Question #: 171
Topic #: 1

An administrator has set up a GPO to disable USB drive access on a company’s servers. The GPO is set up as a computer configuration policy and does not use security groups filtering. The administrator is testing to ensure the policy is working correctly. A server in the accounting OU works as expected, but a server in the sales OU is still allowing access to USB drives. The administrator runs the gpupdate /force command and tries again; however, the server still allows access to the USB drive.

Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

A. The WMI filter is not configured properly.
B. Item-level targeting is not configured properly.
C. The scope is not configured properly.
D. Loopback processing is not configured properly.

Selected Answer: C

C. The scope is not configured properly. The scope of a GPO determines which objects (such as users or computers) it applies to. Since the GPO is working as expected in the accounting OU but not in the sales OU, and there's no mention of security groups filtering being used, it suggests that the GPO may not be linked to the sales OU or the link is not active. This makes the scope of the GPO the most likely cause, as it might not be properly configured to include the sales OU or there could be an issue with how the GPO is linked to that OU.

Selected Answer: C

The MOST likely cause of the issue is that C. The scope is not configured properly. The GPO may not be linked to the sales OU or there may be another GPO with higher precedence that is overriding the settings. The administrator should check the Group Policy Management console to ensure that the GPO is linked to the sales OU and that there are no conflicting GPOs with higher precedence.
