How many types of GPOs are there?

• A. Two
• B. Three
• C. Four
• D. Five

Answer: (B)

GPOs come in three forms, covering where and how policies are applied. A Local GPO exists on a single computer and governs that machine’s settings independent of any domain. Domain-based GPOs are stored in Active Directory (in SYSVOL) and can be linked to sites, domains, or organizational units to apply to many users or computers across the AD structure. Starter GPOs act as templates stored in SYSVOL to seed new GPOs with predefined settings so you can create consistent policies more efficiently. This combination explains why there are three distinct types, making three the best answer.
