You work as an administrator at Contoso.com. The Contoso.com network consists of a single domain
named Contoso.com. All servers in the Contoso.com domain, including domain controllers, have
Windows Server 2012 R2 installed.
Contoso.com has a domain controller, named ENSUREPASS-DC01.
You have been instructed to make sure that the Group Policy Administrative Templates are available
centrally.
Which of the following actions should you take?
A.
You should consider copying the policies folder to the PolicyDefinitions folder in the Contoso.com
domain’s SYSVOL folder.
B.
You should consider copying the PolicyDefinitions folder to the policies folder in the Contoso.com
domain’s SYSVOL folder.
C.
You should consider copying the PolicyDefinitions folder to the policies folder in the Contoso.com
domain’s systemroot folder.
D.
You should consider copying the PolicyDefinitions folder to the policies folder in the Contoso.com
domain’s logonserver folder.
Explanation:
PolicyDefinitions folder within the SYSVOL folder hierarchy.
By placing the ADMX files in this directory, they are replicated to every DC in the domain; by
extension, the ADMX-aware Group Policy Management Console in Windows Vista, Windows 7,
Windows Server 2008 and R2 can check this folder as an additional source of ADMX files, and will
report them accordingly when setting your policies.
By default, the folder is not created. Whether you are a single DC or several thousand, I would
strongly recommend you create a Central Store and start using it for all your ADMX file storage. It
really does work well.
The Central Store
To take advantage of the benefits of .admx files, you must create a Central Store in the SYSVOL
folder on a domain controller. The Central Store is a file location that is checked by the Group Policy
tools. The Group Policy tools use any .admx files that are in the Central Store. The files that are in the
Central Store are later replicated to all domain controllers in the domain.
To create a Central Store for .admx and .adml files, create a folder that is named PolicyDefinitions in
the following location: \\FQDN\SYSVOL\FQDN\policies.
Note: FQDN is a fully qualified domain name.
