Denying Access to Certain Network Users
Question
After a virus has been spread unknowingly via USB removable hard drives, a technician is tasked with limiting removable hard drive access to certain network users.
USB ports are used for many devices, including scanners, printers, and signature pads, so a policy is created to deny access to removable hard drives only.
When testing the policy, a removable drive is plugged in but can still be accessed.
Which of the following command-line tools should the technician use to apply the new policy?

A. B. C. D.A.
The correct command-line tool to apply the new policy for limiting removable hard drive access to certain network users is "gpresult" (Option C).
"gpresult" is a command-line tool used to display Group Policy information for a given user or computer. Group Policy is a feature in Microsoft Windows that allows administrators to control and manage user and computer settings centrally.
When a policy is created to deny access to removable hard drives, it is usually done through the use of Group Policy. To apply the new policy, the technician can run "gpresult" to confirm that the policy has been applied and to troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
Alternatively, the technician could also use "gpupdate" to refresh Group Policy settings on the computer, but this command does not apply the new policy, only updates existing policies.
"diskpart" (Option B) is a command-line tool used for disk partitioning and formatting, and it is not related to Group Policy settings.
"net use" (Option D) is a command-line tool used to connect to network shares and map network drives, but it is not used for managing Group Policy settings.
"grupdate" (Option A) is not a valid command-line tool and does not exist in Windows.
