Exam 70-742 topic 1 question 184 discussion

I tested this in a lab. Assuming the image here is incorrect (it looks Photoshopped) and the image found here: https://www.freecram.com/question/Microsoft.70-742.v2018-02-22.q80/exhibit-user1-is-in-ou1-gpo1-is-linked-to-ou1-the-settings-in-gpo1-are-configured-as-shown-in is correct, I have three shortcuts appearing on the desktop of User1.

The image of the question is wrong. The Name tag must correspond to the shortcut tag. I mean, if the shortcut tag is %DesktopDir%\Shortcut1, the name tag is also called Shorcut1. It is not possible to create Shortcut2 with the tag shortcut = %DesktopDir%\Shortcut1. I have tested in my lab but as I can not upload it you can see it in the explanation of this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPVWwJUtBYo) in the minute 1:44. He puts the name PNet_Data and automatically when he clicks on apply the shortcut %DesktopDir%\PNet_Data is created. Therefore, taking that into account, you can only create the Shortcut called Shortcut1 that has the shortcut %DesktopDir%\Shortcut1. The others make no sense because they cannot be created.Then the answer is -> A. 1 If the image had been this other https://www.freecram.com/question/Microsoft.70-742.v2018-02-22.q80/exhibit-user1-is-in-ou1-gpo1-is-linked-to-ou1-the-settings-in-gpo1-are-configured-as-shown-in-the in that case three Shortcuts would be created on the desktop and the answer would have been -> C. 3

Then, the shorcut would be deleted even if the target is N/A?

Looking at it I'd say the first 3 actions are performed. The fourth is not. So there is 1 shortcut and it will not be deleted, leaving us with 1. I have not labbed this though.

I tested this. When I create the four shortcuts, I receive zero(!) shortcuts on the desktop. When I disable the delete shortcut, I receive one shortcut on the desktop. And when I enable it again, there are zero shortcuts. My answer: zero. There are no correct answers?

Same for me with the picture reference I also have 0. If you setup correctly with a new Shortcut, under "Location" it set to "Desktop", it will set automatically %DesktopDir%\Shortcut1 to 4. Create the GPO under a OU that contains Users and "Voila", you should get only 3 shortcut on the desktop.

I created the shortcuts with the same shortcut values and then I renamed it like in the image, the result was 0 shortcuts. So in the exam, if the column shotcut has the same value I will choose the option 0, if it's available. If the shortcut column have different values I will choose the option 3, I tested in my lab.

Answer is C. The image is wrong and the shortcuts should not all be shortcut1, they should be 2-3 as well, check the 2nd link manjonei posted. If you correct for that the answer is C. (If you don't then the answer would be 0). To clear up some other confusions in here: -You can have them all named Shortcut1. manjonei said that you can only create 1 Shortcut1 because the others couldn't share the same name. This is not true. You can have multiple items in here that all have the same name and you can rename them different from what the shortcut ultimately is, i.e. you can a name of Shortcut2 that places shortcut1 -The processing order is not 4-3-2-1 as you would expect from GPO processing order. It applies them in top to bottom 1-2-3-4 order. Try this yourself where you change the order around and you can easily see that they absolutely go in numerical order.

Everyone is saying the Delete option will make the answer 0, but the link order will go 4,3,2,1. So the delete will happen before the create action.

I think it should be 0. But in this case I guessed 1. But would definitely choose 0 if it was an option.

Don't assume the answers unless you try on your lab. When you give all the shortcuts with the same name there will be 0 shortcuts on the desktop If you rename each shortcut with a different name as shown in the question, you will get 3. Try it your self on a lab before confusing others

I have also tested and the answer is 0. Because all shortcuts points to the same object, so at the end the shortcut will be deleted. If all 4 shortcuts points to different objects then there will be 3 shortcuts on the desktop.

Let's see, here is a problem, and the image shows the drive maps icon, not the Shortcut icon https://imgur.com/iW9CpqW On the other hand, it cannot be Drive Maps, because it is NOT possible to add a TARGET column. https://imgur.com/a/qtVTZAX  This Target column does exist in the Shortcuts part ... as you can see in the image of the question.

Can someone explain a bit please. I tried it, I got two shortcuts for 2-replace and 3-Update. Both valid shortcuts for C:\. Why is every site saying its just 1 shortcut?

A is correct answer; there is thing on the desktop to update, the only valid option is create a new shortcut

The answer is C. I tested it in my lab.

Its getting creating and updated once, so nothing else is happening.
