      Excuse me! I made a mistake!

      The correct answer is A. Because AppLocker (Application Control Policy ACP) is supported on systems running Windows 7 and above. Software Restriction Policies (SRP) is supported on systems running Windows Vista or earlier. You can continue to use SRP for application control on your pre-Windows 7 computers, but use AppLocker for computers running Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 and later. It is recommended that you author AppLocker and SRP rules in separate GPOs and target the GPO with SRP policies to systems running Windows Vista or earlier. When both SRP and AppLocker policies are applied to computers running Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 and later, the SRP policies are ignored.

          I agree. The answer should be A, although this is a horribly worded question.

          GPO’s are applied at computer startup and user logon. The question states that the computer is joined to the domain, which implies that it is rebooted. The reboot would apply the computer-based GPO settings for GP1. When a user logs on, then the GP1 user-based settings would be applied.

          Therefore, there is no need to use GPupdate /force and by process of elimination we are left with A.

      I’m not sure of the answer but want to point out that in your link is states:
      “they should not be implemented in the same GPO”

      Therefore: shouldn’t add an Application control to GP1 because it contains a software restriction policy.

      Or according to the link, are they just trying to saying “you can but you shouldn’t”

      If possible, please can somebody supply some clarity?
      Like my name states, i’m just…

  1. han says:

    In this case, gpupdate doesn’t do any because applocker(no matter local or gpo) always supercedes Software restriction policy. This makes sense. Applocker is pretty new and is independent from previous software restriction mechanism. So, old SRP can not supersede applocker no matter it’s by gpo or local.

  2. han says:

    Another important thing about applocker.
    As Hasan said above,
    when applocker is used, ALL SRP entries are negated(ignored). This is because when you create any entry in Applocker, by default it blocks all apps and only certain common windows related apps.

  3. Matt says:

    It’s A. The Applocker policy applied at the Windows 8 Local Policy is still going to apply since there is no Site/Domain/OU to overwrite the AppLocker policy. Remember last GPO to write wins.

    Remember it’s a SRP (Software Restriction Policy)on the domain. Two different things and the AppLocker Policy will take precedence.

    You ARE NOT going to apply gpupdate /force. Group Policy will run when the Win8 machine logs into the domain.

  4. Sacriestory says:

    Ok. If the answer is “A” what about the statement “GP1 contains a software restriction policy that blocks an Application named App1.”

    Answer A says: From Group Policy Management, add an Application control policy to GP1.

    So, we are going to have 2 (two) Applocker policies in the same OU?

    I tried to recreate the question.

    It shows that its D. gpupdate /force

    after i joined the Computer1 to the domain , its no longer allowing the application control policy that i made in the Computer1.

    I did not create any applocker in the AD
