To which of the following can GPOs be linked?

Group Policy Objects (GPOs) are primarily linked to Organizational Units (OUs) within Active Directory. This linkage allows for the application of specific configurations, security settings, and policies to all users and computers that are part of that OU.

By associating GPOs with OUs, administrators can effectively manage and apply different policies based on the organizational structure, ensuring that users and computers have the appropriate settings and permissions that meet their needs. The hierarchical structure of OUs enables a more granular control over policy application, facilitating tailored management strategies within an organization.

While files, user accounts, and network printers are important elements in IT environments, GPOs do not link directly to them. User accounts are affected by GPOs through their association with the OUs, and although network printers can have their settings managed through GPOs, they are not the primary entities to which GPOs are directly linked. Thus, Organizational Units serve as the core basis for applying Group Policies.
