A Windows Server 2025 member server receives an OSConfig security baseline. An existing GPO continually sets one of the same settings to a conflicting value, and compliance drifts repeatedly. What is the best management response?

Choose the single best answer.

A.Apply the domain-controller OSConfig scenario to the member server so the conflict disappears
B.Repeatedly reapply the baseline without changing the conflicting GPO and assume the alternating values establish compliance
C.Assume that applying the baseline once permanently prevents every other configuration system from writing the setting
D.Resolve the conflicting configuration sources: establish one intended value and remove the conflicting writer or use a supported aligned override

Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

Resolve the conflicting configuration sources: establish one intended value and remove the conflicting writer or use a supported aligned override

OSConfig drift control and a conflicting GPO can repeatedly write different values. Establish a consistent intended value and remove the conflicting source or apply a supported customization coherently. A one-time application does not neutralize other writers; a DC scenario does not match a member server; repeated reapplication leaves the underlying conflict.
