User1: File1.docx and File2.docx = 2 files (file3.docx is only for new users) User2: File2.docx and File3.docx = 2 files (File3.docx because he has never been logged on before) User3: Fil12.docx and File3.docx = 2 files. (User3 is a guest user, and there fore he will get a new profile every time he logs on. Therefore he will get File3.docx and File4 was deleted (with the profile) when he logged off after creating the file)

User2 is in the Replicator group. A group for computers, not users. Here is the link explaining this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-r2-and-2008/cc771990(v=ws.10) And User3 is not the "guest" user because Windows 10 deprecated this, he is just member of the guest group, meaning less privileges. So this question is very, very strange.

FINAL ANSWER TESTED IN A WINDOWS 10 PRO 21H2 build, replicating the exact same conditions step-by-step: User1 - 2 - File1 and File2 User2 - 2 - File2 and File3 User3 - 2 - File2 and File4 It doesn't matter if User2 is a Replicator member, it works anyway. It doesn't matter if User3 is a Guest MEMBER (not the deprecated guest user), he does NOT load a new profile every time from the Default profile and he KEEPS the files that he created before Sign Out - Sign In. The question is "How many DOCX files will APPEAR on the desktop of each user the next time each user signs in". So, obviously, User1 will NOT see File3 because he will NOT load the Default profile every time. The answer provided couldn't be more wrong. Tested in lab for you. You're welcome.

User2 Only gets only 2 files if its also member of the Users group. The table in the questions says "user2 is member of the Replicator group". so User2 won't be able to log in. When User2 is also member of the users group, it gets 2 files. i just tested.

Isn't it User1: 2, User 2: 2 and User3: 3? User 1: File1 and File2 User 2: File 2 and File3 User 3: File 2, File 3 and File 4 File 2 on Public desktop appears on all existing and new users File 3 on Default desktop only appears on new users

I confirm this. I checked this on my Win 10 v1909 vm and files are present as per Mendel's comment: - User 1: File1 and File2 - User 2: File 2 and File3 - User 3: File 2, File 3 and File 4

User 3 is an existing user, so it won't get file 3.

Based on the information laid out in the question, the answer is 2,0,2. User2 is not stated to be a member of a group that can login. It is also stated that User2 has never logged in. If it's wrong then its MS fault for wording it in this way. We answer questions based on the information given to us. We can't be expected to make baseless assumptions. Answer is 2,0,2.

If I understand correctly, the answer to User3 depends if User3 signed in for the first time or not, right? If we assumed User3 signed in for the first time after the files are created, he'll get File2 and 3, then create File4. Since no files will be lost on logout, User3 will have 3 files on its desktop. But if we assume User3 DID sign in previously, at any moment, then they would only get File2 on sign-in, and create File4, totalling 2 files when they sign in again. Honestly, this question is kinda dubious. It doesnt specify if User3 has signed in before or not, and knowing Microsoft, it could go both ways

Final Answer - 2, 0, 2 The Replicator Group, cannot logon locally, it has no default user rights, so User2 has 0 files https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-r2-and-2008/cc771990(v=ws.10)

This is a sneaky one, you get the contents of the default desktop when a new desktop is created - i.e. when a new user signs in. Because User 1 already exists he doesn't get to see the file in the default desktop.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but a normal user which is a member of the Guests group, is actually not a normal guest user. A normal guest user would log in using "Guest" and then the profile will be new every time he logs in. But User3 which is a part of the Guests group would still have the file which he created on the desktop when he logs back in, then i would say that the given answer is correct.

2 files - User 1 File 2 on public desktop and file 1 on desktop 2 files - User 2 file 2 on public desktop and file 3 on default desktop 3 files - User 3 file 2 on public desktop, file 3 on default desktop, and file4 on desktop It specifies "user 3 then signs in" implying they sign in after User 1 created the file on the default desktop so they would get it. Description of Guests group on Windows 10 Pro 21H2 machine "Guests have the same access as members of the Users group by default, except for the Guest account which is further restricted"

Forget the theory, I just tested this out. User 1 gets 2 files (1 and 2) User 2 CANT even log in, he's a member of the replicator group only (doesn't mention Users... ) so he gets 0 files. User 3 gets 3 files - W10 doesnt do the TEMP thing. This is a user named User3, who is a member of guests (and not the Guest). Final answer as tested... 2, 0, 3

Rules. Default is a 1 time creation on first login. Guest users get a temporary profile, recreated every time they log in. Default wont apply for already created profiles.

User1: File1.docx (Created by User1) and File2.docx (public) User2: File2.docx (public) and File3.docx (default) (Question specifically indicates User2 has never signed in before.) User3: File2.docx (public) and File4.docx (Created by User3) (Question did not indicate User3 has never signed in before so he won't get File3.docx, Also need to note that User3 is in Guests group, it is not a guest account, therefore profile won't be re-created so File4.docx remains. The difference between Guests and Users Group is Guests Group is more restrictive)

I almost agree with you, but User2 is in the Replicator group. A group for computers, not users. Here is the link explaining this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-r2-and-2008/cc771990(v=ws.10) So this question is very, very strange.
