## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

A **Group Policy Object (GPO)** is a collection of settings produced with the Group Policy Editor in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). GPOs can be linked to a single Active Directory container or a group of them, such as sites, domains, or organizational units (OUs). Users may establish GPOs that specify registry-based rules, security choices, program installation, and much more using the MMC. \
Local policies, site policies, domain policies, and OU policies are all applied in the same logical sequence by Active Directory.
