Answer C seems to be correct. It is true that Group Policy Preference is a domain based instruction and all the PC's are in a workgroup. However, I was able to set up about 15 PC's in a workgroup using Local User Group Policy preferences (notice the lowercase p). Since my username had admin privileges on each machine in the workgroup, I was able to use MMC console and Group Policy snap-in to set the focus on another PC in the workgroup, and set up the same Local User Group Policy preference (again, notice the lowercase p) to create users and make them members of specific groups. Microsoft differentiates between Group Policy Preferences and Group Policy preferences. The former is an actual setting for domain-based PC's and the latter is simply user-side options/settings/configurations/customizations that can be done in a workgroup (like changing the homepage in edge, or mapping a drive).

Btw....Answer C is incorrect because you can't create GPO's in a non domain environment

Yes, you can, as long as you have at least Pro edition of Windows. You are not required to be joined to a domain to do that (regarding local group policy). I personally have used it a lot on my personal PCs since I am not the only one who uses it (roommates) and I don't want certain people with access to certain things, lol.

Even if your answer achieves the same result, it is not the most user friendly way to achieve your goal. Microsoft can offer multiple correct answers but only there's only one 'best answer'. You explanation is to far fetched. There's an easier solution... Answer A !

I would tend to agree. I think you are overthinking this. I think the point here is they want to see if you know that you can't deploy group policies to computers in a workgroup. I think the best answer is A.

Selected Answer: A
Creating a Group Policy object (GPO) is not possible in a workgroup environment even if you've Windows 10 Pro, and that Answer A, using Windows Configuration Designer, is the best approach to create a local user account named User1 on all the computers that run Windows 10 in a workgroup and add it to the Remote Management Users group.

From Chat-GPT Why answer A is not correct? Answer A suggests using Windows Configuration Designer to create a provisioning package and then run the provisioning package on each computer to create a local user named User1 and add it to the Remote Management Users group. While this is a valid approach for provisioning Windows 10 devices in an enterprise environment, it may not be the easiest or most practical solution for a small workgroup environment. Windows Configuration Designer is typically used to create provisioning packages that automate the deployment of Windows 10 settings, applications, and customizations across a large number of devices. However, in a workgroup environment with only 20 computers, manually copying and importing a Group Policy Object (GPO) or Local Group Policy Object (LGPO) to each computer may be a simpler and more straightforward solution. Therefore, answer A is not the best answer in this scenario, as it involves more complexity and effort than necessary.

Selected Answer: C
Confirmed that the answer is C after verifying in Configuration Designer that the only options for user groups are standard users and administrators, not Remote Management Users. Options are under Accounts > Users > username > UserGroup. GPOs are possible in WORKGROUP computers as I am looking at 4 different one's now in the MMC.

CHATGPT: The correct answer is A. From Windows Configuration Designer, create a provisioning package, and then run the provisioning package on each computer. Explanation: Since the computers are in a workgroup, creating a Group Policy Object (GPO) to create the local user is not an option as GPOs are only applicable in a domain environment. Therefore, we need to use a different method to create the local user on each computer.

Answer is C! A is incorrect because you cannot add the created user into a group other then users or administrators. B is incorrect because it is an AD command. D is incorrect because it is an Azure command. C is the only valid answer.
