Your network contains an Active Directory domain named adatum.com. The domain
contains a file server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
All client computers run Windows 7.
You need to ensure that user settings are saved to \\Server1 \Users\.
What should you do?
A.
From the properties of each user account, configure the Home folder settings.
B.
From a Group Policy object (GPO), configure the Folder Redirection settings.
C.
From the properties of each user account, configure the User profile settings.
D.
From a Group Policy object (GPO), configure the Drive Maps preference.
Explanation:
If a computer is running Windows 2000 Server or later on a network, users can store their
profiles on the server. These profiles are called roaming user profiles.
What user settings? Maybe “folder redirection” would be better solution … answer B

Answer (C) provided is correct. As explained by Hardij & Gareth below.
Feature to enable is Roaming Profiles (TechNet JJ649079). File forwarding would only change the location of user files.

answer is c… it is what is called roaming under user settings

C might actually be correct:
To set up Roaming User Profiles on user accounts
——————————————————————————–
1.In Active Directory Administration Center, navigate to the Users container (or OU) in the appropriate domain.
2.Select all users to which you want to assign a roaming user profile, right-click the users and then click Properties.
3.In the Profile section, select the Profile path: checkbox and then enter the path to the file share where you want to store the user’s roaming user profile, followed by %username% (which is automatically replaced with the user name the first time the user signs in). For example:
\\fs1.corp.contoso.com\User Profiles$\%username%
To specify a mandatory roaming user profile, specify the path to the NTuser.man file that you created previously, for example, \\fs1.corp.contoso.com\User Profiles$\default. For more information, see Creating a Mandatory User Profile.
4.Click OK.

Although it is a typically poorly worded question, I would agree that the answer is C.
I believe that MS is asking about roaming profiles here. I believe the key is “user settings”, which sounds to me like profile settings. Folder redirection deals with user “data” not settings.

it´s B_

Create the share and add share permissions
Share the root folder created earlier as \\SERVER\Users (or if you want to hide it, \\SERVER\Users$\
Adjust the share permissions as follows:
Remove Everyone
Grant Authenticated Users Full Control
Grant Domain Admins Full Control (Not necessary but useful for completeness)
Configure the GPO
Open Group Policy Manager
Create a new GPO or edit your existing one.
Expand User Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Folder Redirection
Right-click My Documents/Documents and click Properties.
Choose Basic – Redirect everyone’s folder to the same location
Under Target folder location choose Create a folder for each user under the root path
Set the Root Path: to \\SERVER\Users
As you type, you will see an example location listed to show you how the folders will be created as users log on.
On the Settings tab, uncheck Grant the user exclusive rights to Documents
Under Policy Removal, select your preferred option depending on your requirements.
Link the GPO at the appropriate OU.

Folder redirection and user profiles are not the same.
I would go for answer C

So many people getting folder redirection and roaming profiles mixed up its frustrating!
The answer is C … 100% plain and simple.
The User profile contains user SETTINGS…SETTINGS being the key word.
Folder redirection gives you the option to redirect specific folders from within a roaming profile and place them elsewhere…usually My Documents or My Pictures etc. The reasoning behind it is usually to speed up login times as the contents of a roaming profile are downloaded and uploaded almost every login and logoff…include 40GB of pictures in there and you have a very long login and logoff.

I think it B good. Technet says:
You can use Group Policy to specify another location (in other words, “redirect” the location) for folders within user profiles. You can redirect folders either to one location for everyone or to different locations based on the security group membership of users. You can also configure additional settings for the redirected folder. The settings that you can configure include whether to grant exclusive user rights to the folder, move the contents of the folder to the new location, apply redirection policy to earlier Windows operating systems, or specify system behavior if the policy is removed.
To specify the location of folders in a user profile
In the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) tree, right-click the Group Policy object (GPO) that is linked to the site, domain, or organizational unit that contains the users whose user profile folders you want to redirect, and then click Edit .
In the Group Policy Management Editor window, right-click the user profile folder that you want to redirect. The path of the user profile folder is User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection\UserProfileFolderName

This is a tricky question. GPO has precedence over manual settings via ADAC.
See Note:
“If you set up Roaming User Profiles on user accounts by using Active Directory and on computers by using Group Policy, the computer-based policy setting takes precedence.”
So if there is a GPO active “Manual” answers do not solve this…
Bcz the question mentions Windows 7 explicitly, I think the answer must be B.
Appendix A: Checklist for deploying Roaming User Profiles
1. Prepare domain
Join computers to domain
Enable the use of separate profile versions
Create user accounts
(Optional) Deploy Folder Redirection
2. Create security group for Roaming User Profiles
Group name:
Members:
3. Create a file share for Roaming User Profiles
File share name:
4. Create a GPO for Roaming User Profiles
GPO name:
5. Configure Roaming User Profiles policy settings
6. Enable Roaming User Profiles:
Enabled in AD DS on user accounts?
Enabled in Group Policy on computer accounts?
7. Enable primary computer support
Designate primary computers for users
Location of user and primary computer mappings:
(Optional) Enable primary computer support for Folder Redirection

Guys, it is talking about SETTINGS and not DOCUMENTS. If it were to save user’s documents somewhere else, then we use folder redirection. Since it talks about SETTINGS, answer C is the right one. Do not take for granted and answer when it only mentions new features, lets pay attention to every word. I still think these are not tricky questions, but poorly written questions.

actually the home folder can do it but the most convenient way that requires less administrative efforts is to use GPO answer is B

B. Folder Redirection
There is a variable in Folder Redirection called AppData(Roaming) that you can set which will redirect user settings.

This is a tricky one. Reading the word SETTINGS makes me think about the User’s Profile. If SETTINGS were changed to DATA, then I’d agree with option B. For now C makes more sense.

Well, tricky tricky tricky… This TechNet article reports SETTING right in its first sentence:
“User settings and user files are typically stored in the local user profile, under the Users folder. The files in local user profiles can be accessed only from the current computer, which makes it difficult for users who use more than one computer to work with their data and synchronize settings between multiple computers. Two technologies exist to address this problem: Roaming Profiles and Folder Redirection. Both technologies have their advantages, and they can be used separately or together to create a seamless user experience from one computer to another. They also provide additional options for administrators managing user data.”

Anyway, hard to chose an answear for that…

You can redirect AppData with Folder Redirection GPO, not sure how it differs from the Profile setting. Possibly the Profile setting redirects a more complete profile.
Anyway, any admin with just a few months of experience knows that the Profile setting is the most used and probably the most complete method of redirecting a users settings.
Just a tip, NEVER use this on a real network, it causes way more problems than it is worth.

This is the way I read it: For user SETTINGS (environment variables and the like, like in this question), edit “Profile path” under the Profile tab of the user properties in Active Directory. For user FILES (the user’s home directory, documents, etc…), setup folder redirection via group policy.

In my opinion C wins (for 75%)
..but in some causes B is also possible (for 25%)
So my choise is C 😉
