Which type of GPO applies only to the local computer and the users who log on to it?

• A. Local GPO
• B. User GPO
• C. Domain GPO
• D. Startup GPO

Answer: (A)

This question is about where GPO settings are applied and who they affect. A Local GPO is stored on the computer itself and is applied only to that specific machine and to the users who log on to it. It doesn’t rely on Active Directory or domain links, so its scope is limited to the local device and local logons.

In contrast, Domain GPOs come from Active Directory and are linked to domains, OUs, or sites and apply to domain-joined machines and users within that structure. User GPOs target user accounts (wherever they log on), not just the computer. “Startup GPO” isn’t a separate GPO category; startup processing is part of how Computer Configuration policies are applied during boot, not a distinct type.

So the local policy best fits the idea of applying only to the local computer and its local logon users.
