Users in the 'Research' OU report that a GPO named 'ResearchApp' is not applying. The GPO is linked to the Research OU, and security filtering is set to 'Domain Computers'. The GPO has no WMI filter. You run gpresult and see that the GPO is not listed as applied. What is the most likely cause?

The GPO's security filtering is set to 'Domain Computers', but the users are in the Research OU and the GPO contains user settings.

The GPO has a WMI filter that is not configured, so it fails to apply.

The GPO is linked to the OU but the 'Enforce' option is not set.

The GPO is linked to the Research OU, but the Research OU has 'Block Inheritance' enabled.

By default, how does Group Policy inheritance work when a GPO is linked to a parent OU and another GPO is linked to a child OU?

The parent GPO is applied after the child GPO, overriding the child GPO settings.

The child OU inherits the parent GPO, and the child GPO is applied after the parent GPO.

The child OU does not inherit the parent GPO unless 'Enforced' is set.

Only the child GPO is applied; the parent GPO is ignored.
