In Group Policy, a precedence value of 1 indicates the highest priority. True or False?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It depends on domain level
• D. It is used only for starter GPOs

Answer: (A)

Group Policy uses the Link Order within a scope to determine which GPO’s settings win when multiple apply. The GPO with the lowest link order value has the highest priority, so a value of 1 is at the top and its settings take precedence over others. When two GPOs define the same setting, the one at link order 1 overrides the rest. This behavior applies within the same scope (OU, domain, or site) and isn’t about domain level or starter GPOs. You can change which GPO wins by adjusting its link order.
