Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
The domain contains a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server1 has the IP Address Management (IPAM) Server feature installed.
IPAM is configured currently for Group Policy-based provisioning.
You need to change the IPAM provisioning method on Server1.
What should you do?
A.
Run the ipamgc.exe command.
B.
Run the Set-IPAMConfiguration cmdlet.
C.
Reinstall the IP Address Management (IPAM) Server feature.
D.
Delete IPAM Group Policy objects (GPOs) from the domain.
Explanation:
You cannot change the provisioning method after completing the initial setup.
You can only change from manual to GPO, not the other way around

No, any change requires a reinstall.
Important
The choice of a provisioning method is permanent for the current installation of IPAM Server. To change the provisioning method, you must uninstall and reinstall IPAM Server.

From 2012 R2 on, you can change the provisioning method from manual to GPO without reinstalling it.

You’re wrong. The article @MountSwolemore provided explicitly says:
“Choose an IPAM Provisioning Method
Applies To: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012”
Also: “Important
The choice of a provisioning method is permanent for the current installation of IPAM Server. To change the provisioning method, you must uninstall and reinstall IPAM Server.”
This applies to 2012 and 2012 R2.

You’re mistaken. Start the IPAM wizard and see for yourself.

Allison is right, you can go from manual to GPO with Set-IpamConfiguration. From GPO to manual requires a reinstall.

Answer is correct and you cannot change provisioning after.
Detailed Description
The Set-IpamConfiguration cmdlet modifies the IP Address Management (IPAM) server configuration, including the TCP port over which the computer that runs the IPAM Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) client connects and communicates with the computer that runs the IPAM server.
-ProvisioningMethod
Specifies a provisioning method. The acceptable values for this parameter are:Automatic and Manual.
Now, nowhere in the sub commandlet description does it say CHANGE configuration.
Nowhere in the entire technet article does it say you can change config.
And just to solidify the issue, here’s a link that states you can’t change after:

Guys – I know there is A LOT of confusion around this, but Daniel and Lafegob are 100% correct. The TechNet documentation is out of date. We know it’s Server 2012 R2 because it mentions using SQL (this is *only* available in 2012 R2). When you run the IPAM wizard and if you select “Manual”, on the next screen (the summary screen) there is an message that says “If you choose the GPO-based provisioning method, you cannot change to the manual method after completing this wizard. However, you can use the Set-IPAMConfiguration Windows Powershell cmdlet to change from manual to GPO-based provisioning later if desired.”
Here is a screen shot for proof. http://imgur.com/CamPMNL
If you don’t believe it – you can test it in your own lab by performing the following steps.
1. Install the IPAM Feature
2. From Server Manager – go to IPAM, and start Step 1 “Provision the IPAM Server”.
3. Select the manual method and click Next
You will be able to prove this to yourself in a matter of minutes.

An intriguing discussion is worth comment. I think that you need to write more on this topic, it may not be a taboo matter but usually people do not speak about these issues. To the next! Cheers!!|

So yes, the provisioning method can be changed from manual to GPO based using Set-IPAMConfiguration.
HOWEVER, the question clearly states that the current configuration is already GPO based. So, the only way you can change it to manual, is to uninstall/reinstall.
The answer is correct!!
