A group policy requires users in an organization to use strong passwords that must be changed
every 15 days. Joe and Ann were hired 16 days ago. When Joe logs into the network, he is
prompted to change his password; when Ann logs into the network, she is not prompted to change
her password. Which of the following BEST explains why Ann is not required to change her
password?
A.
Ann’s user account has administrator privileges.
B.
Joe’s user account was not added to the group policy.
C.
Ann’s user account was not added to the group policy.
D.
Joe’s user account was inadvertently disabled and must be re-created.
Explanation:
Group policy is used to manage Windows systems in a Windows network domain environment by
means of a Group Policy Object (GPO). GPO’s include a number of settings related to credentials,
which includes password expiration. Because Anne was not prompted to change her password, it
could only mean that her user account was not added to the group policy.
