CompTIA Exam 220-1102 Topic 2 Question 48 Discussion

Detailed

The correct command is gpupdate (Option A), which refreshes Group Policy settings. To implement password requirements across domain-joined computers, the policy would be set via Group Policy, and then running the gpupdate command ensures that the new settings are applied to all systems.

devmgmt (Option B) opens Device Manager, which is unrelated to Group Policy.

regedit (Option C) opens the Windows Registry Editor, which is not used for group-wide password policy settings.

resmon (Option D) opens Resource Monitor, which helps monitor system resources, not Group Policy.
