    A found another answer: A – Run the New-GPStarterGPO cmdlet.
    The New-GPStarterGPO cmdlet creates a Starter GPO with the specified name. If the Starter GPOs folder does not exist in the SYSVOL when the New-GPStarterGPO cmdlet is called, it is created and populated with the eight Starter GPOs that ship with Group Policy.
    The Copy-GPO cmdlet creates a (destination) GPO and copies the settings from the source GPO to the new GPO. The cmdlet can be used to copy a GPO from one domain to another domain within the same forest.
    You can specify a migration table to map security principals and paths when copying across domains.
    You can also specify whether to copy the access control list (ACL) from the source GPO to the destination GPO.

    Or – C – Right-click GPO1, and then click Copy. Right-click Starter GPOs, and then click Paste. Seen in v4 – 254

    Explanation:
    Since it is mentioned that there is a starter GPO that contains more than 100 settings
    already, it would be less administrative effort to just copy the existing one to replace it with
    the new GPO1 settings by clicking and pasting.
    Note:
    Copying a Starter GPO
    1. Open the Group Policy Management Console. Expand the Starter GPOs node.
    2. Right-click the Starter GPO you want to copy and then click Copy .
    3. Right-click the Starter GPO node and then click Paste .
    4. Click OK .

    It *cant* be D or A. I just tried it, there is no option to “Paste” into the Starter GPOs bin so D is out. Can’t be A because the Copy-GPO cmdlet only works for non-starter GPOs, there’s no way to specify the new GPO it creates to go to the Starter GPO bin. C is just totally wrong.

    It’s a trick question, B is correct. Doing it by hand is the only option that’s valid from the choices.

    A. Copy-GPO only works with standard GPO’s
    B. Not least effort
    C. Not least effort. (3 steps)
    D. Easier way. (2 steps) <–
    I tried C and D in my lab and both are working but they ask us: "You must achieve this goal by using the minimum amount of administrative effort."

    B is definitely correct. I too was sure it was D but you can ONLY copy and paste a Starter GPO into the Starter GPO node. The GPO in the question is NOT a starter GPO and cannot be pasted into the node. Tested in lab and on our production servers.

    Right answer is “D”

    1-Copy existing Starter GPO for example “GPO1”
    2-Right-click in the node “Starter GPOs” and click paste (this create a copy of “GPO1” called “Copy of GPO1” with the same settings of “GPO1″… just rename and done.

    Yes the answer is D. Read carefully the question:

    You have a starter Group Policy object (GPO) named GPO1 that contains more than 100 settings.
    You need to create a new starter GPO based on the settings in GPO1.
    You must achieve this goal by using the minimum amount of administrative effort.

    It clearly said that both GPO are starter GPO. Tried this on my LAb and it is working perfectly.
