Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.

Group Policy Preferences support Item-Level Targeting (ILT), allowing a preference item to apply only when the target computer meets specified criteria, such as operating system family and version. The AZ-800 study content notes that when a GPO is linked at the domain level, scope is all domain computers, but ILT on a specific preference item restricts that item to clients that match the ILT filter; non-matching clients still process the GPO but skip the filtered item. In the Targeting Editor shown, the condition is “the operating system is Windows Server 2022 Family.” Among the listed machines: Computer1 (Windows 11), Server1 (Windows Server 2016), Server2 (Windows Server 2019), and Server3 (Windows Server 2022). Only Server3 satisfies the ILT. Therefore, the shortcut preference Shortcut1 is applied only to Server3.
