What does an enforced GPO ensure for all linked OUs within a given domain?

  1. It can be overwritten by child policies

  2. It is always applied last

  3. It will not apply to users without permissions

  4. It cannot be overridden by other GPOs

The correct answer is: It cannot be overridden by other GPOs

An enforced Group Policy Object (GPO) ensures that it cannot be overridden by other GPOs linked to the same Organizational Units (OUs) within a given domain. This means that regardless of the link order or whether other GPOs have higher precedence, any settings defined in an enforced GPO will always be applied. This feature is particularly useful for administrators who need to enforce specific settings across all users and computers within the linked OUs, such as security configurations or compliance standards. In typical Group Policy processing, if multiple GPOs are linked to the same OU, the settings in the GPO linked last may typically override those in GPOs linked earlier. However, when a GPO is marked as enforced, it establishes a "superior" status, ensuring its settings are applied universally and cannot be sidestepped by any other policy affecting the same users or computers. This solidifies its role in maintaining consistent configurations across the domain, vital for governance and security.
