a. the Group Policy settings are saved to the Group Policy Object (GPO).
b. the changes are applied to the computer or user to which the GPO is linked.
c. Both a and b
d. None

Answer 1

Upon hitting Apply or OK in a Group Policy management editor, both the Group Policy settings are saved to the GPO, and the changes are applied to the linked computer or user. However, these changes may require a Group Policy refresh to take immediate effect.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you hit Apply or OK in a Group Policy management editor dialog, the answer is c. Both a and b. This means that the Group Policy settings are saved to the Group Policy Object (GPO), and concurrently, the changes are then applied to the computer or user to which the GPO is linked. It is worth noting that the changes may not take effect immediately on the client machines; a Group Policy refresh is usually necessary, which happens periodically or can be initiated manually with a command like gpupdate /force.
