A feature that allows Group Policy settings from parent containers to be applied to child containers.

Prevents Group Policy settings from parent containers from affecting child containers.

Forces the inheritance of a GPO's settings on all objects within its scope, even if a conflicting GPO exists lower in the hierarchy.

A method that limits the impact of a GPO by excluding specific objects from its effect.

A GPO filtering type that uses permissions to restrict access to a GPO by specific objects.

Organizing objects in a hierarchical structure, using parent-child relationships.

The hierarchical organization of system objects.

The order in which GPOs are applied, with enforced GPOs having the highest priority.

GPO scope defines which objects are affected by the settings within a GPO. It determines which computers, users, or groups will be subject to the policies set by the GPO.

GPOs are applied in this order: 1. Local policies 2. Site-linked GPOs 3. Domain-linked GPOs 4. OU-linked GPOs. The last policy applied takes precedence.

If an OU is nested within another, the GPO linked to the deepest nested OU takes precedence over all other GPOs.

Site-linked GPOs affect users and computers physically located at a specific site. They are helpful for mobile users who might have different policy needs based on their location.

Domain-linked GPOs should contain settings that apply to all objects within the domain. Best practices suggest setting account policies and critical security policies at this level.

OU-linked GPOs are used for fine-tuning policies and are applied last. They take precedence over site and domain policies.

Users and computers with similar policy requirements should be located in the same OU to ensure consistent policy application and simplify administration.

If two GPOs are applied to an object, and a certain setting is configured in one GPO but not the other, the configured setting is applied.

Group Policy Objects (GPOs) are replicated through Active Directory using either File Replication Service (FRS) for mixed Windows Server environments or Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) for all Windows Server 2008 or newer DCs. DFSR is preferred due to its efficiency and reliability.

Settings within the Computer Configuration portion of a GPO take precedence over those in User Configuration if a conflict arises. This means computer-level settings will override user-level settings.

This policy allows administrators to install applications remotely using the Software Installation extension. Applications are deployed with Windows Installer, which utilizes MSI files containing installation instructions for applications.

Software packages can be assigned to users through two methods: Published and Assigned. Published creates a shortcut in Control Panel, allowing users to install it when needed. Assigned automatically installs the software during user login.

A software deployment method that only provides a shortcut to install the application. The user has to manually initiate the installation process.

A software deployment method that automatically installs the application when the user logs in to a computer within the domain.

Understanding how GPOs are processed involves comprehending their scope, which defines whom and what they affect, and precedence, which dictates the order of application.

GPO inheritance determines how settings from parent containers are applied to child containers within the Active Directory hierarchy. Settings can be blocked or enforced according to the administrator's choices.
