I think B is correct : gpupdate.exe/Force command works for local group policy updates as well as for domain updates. The users group has to be added to the gpo. It does not indicate that this has been done, so the provided answer is incomplete.

In addition to my previous post, I should note that you can load up multiple user policies in MMC, as described in this post https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-vista/cc766291(v=ws.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN#summary Again, an apparent expert on the subject says applying local group policy to a custom group in Windows 10 is not possible in this post: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/f226f2cc-8600-4e60-89cc-01067db6d4c2/local-group-policy-applied-to-a-group?forum=winserverGP

So since the group was not added to the GPO, the answer is No?

B. I am voting for a separate local group policy for each user. From a blank mmc add in Group Policy Object and refine it for whoever you want it to be refined to but you will not see any other groups other than Administrators or Non-Administrators. Hence you need 1 policy for user1 and 1 for user2.

definitively B . Locally you can't add several Users in a Same GPO. Needs 2 GPo for that (one for each user).

I agree with Anthony. In a test lab, you can create a group of users without problem, but when you go into MMC, add the GPO Editor snap-in, click Browse, and click on the Users tab, the only two groups that appear are Administrators and Non-Administrators. You can create other groups until the cows come home and they will not show up in that list. While you're in there, notice the heading above the list of users and groups says "Local users and groups compatible with Local Group Policy." This issue is corroborated here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/65fd90fb-2597-495d-88c3-d1bd6b86850a/add-groups-to-local-group-policy?forum=ws2016 Thus, this answer is incorrect. You either need to apply group policy to each user individually, or get yourself a domain controller with Active Directory, create a domain, add the computer to it, create some domain users, add them to an OU (organizational unit) and apply group policy to that OU.

Essa questão ficou muito dividida no gabarito, afinal qual seria a resposta e qual a justificativa? Após um debate de 12 comentários, o gabarito é o mesmo ou não?

The only thing that confuses me is if this answer isnt correct either that means every answer they provide for this question is wrong and therefore there is not a "yes" answer to this question on the exam.
