To change the precedence of a GPO, which is the correct sequence of steps?

• A. 1.Select the AD DS container object in the GPMC console tree; 2.Select the Linked Group Policy Objects tab in the details pane; 3.Select the GPO; 4.Use the arrows to change the link order
• B. 1.Select the GPO; 2.Use the arrows to change the link order; 3.Select the Linked Group Policy Objects tab; 4.Select the AD DS container object
• C. 1.Select the Linked Group Policy Objects tab; 2.Select the AD DS container object; 3.Select the GPO; 4.Use the arrows to change the link order
• D. 1.Select the AD DS container object; 2.Select the GPO; 3.Use the arrows to change the link order; 4.Select the Linked Group Policy Objects tab

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how to control which Group Policy objects take precedence for a specific AD DS container. GPOs that are linked to a container are applied in a defined order, and the settings from the GPOs that come later in that order can override earlier ones. To change which GPOs have priority for that container, you must adjust that link order. Start by locating the relevant AD DS container object in the GPMC console tree. This places you in the correct scope (the OU, domain, or site) for which you want to change the policy precedence. In the details pane for that container, switch to the Linked GPOs tab. This tab shows all GPOs linked to that container and their current order. Select the GPO whose position you want to adjust, and use the arrows to move it up or down. Reordering here changes the precedence: the GPOs lower in the list will be applied after the ones above, so their settings can override earlier configurations. This path is the correct one because it directly targets the container’s links and uses the built-in controls to reorder them, which is what defines how conflicts between multiple GPOs are resolved for that scope.
