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.
