Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
In the previous versions of Windows, this was accomplished by having the user run GPUpdate.exe on their computer. Starting with Windows Server? 2012 and
Windows?8, you can now remotely refresh Group Policy settings for all computers in an OU from one central location through the Group Policy Management
Console (GPMC). Or you can use the Invoke-GPUpdate cmdlet to refresh Group Policy for a set of computers, not limited to the OU structure, for example, if the computers are located in the default computers container. Note: Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) is a scriptable Microsoft Management Console
(MMC) snap-in, providing a single administrative tool for managing Group Policy across the enterprise. GPMC is the standard tool for managing Group Policy.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Secedit configures and analyzes system security by comparing your current configuration to at least one template.

If you used GPUpdate you would have to do it on all of the 200 computers.

My understanding was that from the GPMC the update happened within 10 mins of the command. GPUpdate on the other hand is instant?
