Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
User settings and user files are typically stored in the local user profile, under the Users folder. The files in local user profiles can be accessed only from the current computer, which makes it difficult for users who use more than one computer to work with their data and synchronize settings between multiple computers.
Two technologies exist to address this problem: Roaming Profiles and Folder Redirection.
Folder Redirection lets administrators redirect the path of a folder to a new location. The location can be a folder on the local computer or a directory on a network file share. Users can work with documents on a server as if the documents were based on a local drive. The documents in the folder are available to the user from any computer on the network. Folder Redirection is located under Windows Settings in the console tree when you edit domain-based Group Policy by using the
Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).

This was a 70-411 question, and there was a lot of debate on whether this answer should be "configure User Profiles" because we are concerned with the location of the user settings, not their data (which folder redirection is usually used for).
