i think it's : 7 7 4 (as if we consider user3 as a local user not domain user)

As others have said, you’re only allowed one password policy GPO and then PSOs for anything beyond that. None of the processing order applies for passwords: “ Any AD domain can have only one password policy applied to the domain root (there are some nuances, but we’ll talk about them later). Usually, a domain password policy is configured in the GPO named Default Domain Policy. If you create another GPO with different password settings and apply it to the specific OU, its settings will be ignored. ”

I guess the correct question might have: User1 User2 Admin1 (instead of User3) being a local user on Server1 Correct answer would then be: User1: 7 (as per Default Domain Policy, GPO settings are ignored) User2: 7 (as per Default Domain Policy, GPO settings are ignored) Admin1: 5 (as per GPO1, which is linked to OU1, where Server1 resides)

Guys, there is nowhere mentioned if user3 belongs to the domain or it is computer local account. For me it seems to be incomplete question. Based on my research I believe that user1 & user2 should have 7. User3 is to me unknown, could be either domain user without any mentioning, so 7 is right, or local user, which I guess is 5?

PW Policies linked to the domain: Processed by the PDC emulator - and ONLY the PDC emulator. No other computer in the domain will process PW policies linked to the domain. PW policies linked anywhere else: Processed by member computers - and apply to local accounts on these members only

Incomplete question Password GPO effects only computer accounts not user accounts. U can override it by FGP policy and apply it on user groups, but nothing about it here.. So, for all computers 7 is default, but for Computer on OU1 is 5.

Stopper is right The answer is 7-7-5 User1 and User2 are domain users (Admin1 is local user on Server1). Domain users are subject to the Default Domain Policy, which can be overwritten only by password setting objects (PSOs). So User1 and User2 have the minimum password length=7 Password policies configured in GPO1, GPO2, and GPO3 are applied to the local users on the computers whose accounts are in OU1, OU2, and OU3, respectively. Admin1 is local user on Server1, Server1 is in OU1. So OU1 apply GPO1 (minimum password length=5)

Password policy is special. Only work on the default domian policy. You can have only one password policy. If you need diferent password policy for diffrent units (marketing, sales ect.) then you must you use PSO which is linked to te security object in AD (groups, users).

I actually love the fact that quite a few of the answers on the site are wrong, because it then creates discussion threads that give a completely different perspective to a lot of other exam material.

I`ll try to explain why all users will have always 7 for those that still don`t understand (besides ones that have fine grained password). Password Settings doesn`t take precedence. There can be only one applied and its always taken from Default Domain Policy. Why? Because in reality this is an attribute on domain container object. You can change it directly on that object and it will even update the value on GPO. This is a self-rescue mechanism for a domain. If someone would delete Default Domain Policy the core settings will still be applied. This setting has nothing to do with GPO besides that Microsoft decided to put it there to be easier to modify. If you have a lab you can check it for yourself: get-adobject -identity "dc=your,dc=domain" -properties * or using ADUC on domain container looking in attributes

One remark that I weren`t aware: The GPO1 in OU1 where server1 resides will have effect on local user accounts.

I think stated answer is correct. 6, 8, 7 Policies are applied in order of creation. So I am assuming these policies are named in order of creation. User1 is in OU2 - gets applied 6 User2 is in OU3 - gets applied 8 User3 is not listed - so if they are on the domain then they get the default domain policy of 7. If not on the domain then they get local policy of 4

This is embarrassing... Although the password policy branch is available for all Group Policy Objects it is only implemented for GPO's at the domain level so even if you make settings for a GPO for an OU or a site it will have no effect. (That is the reason for having PSO) That being the case, I agree with Charchar. Correct answer is 7,7,7
