Group Policy Preferences (GPP) was introduced in Windows 2008 Server and allows domain administrators to create domain policies to automate tedious tasks, such as changing the local Administrator account password on the host operating system. Each policy is created with an encrypted password (cPassword) embedded within the policy, and each policy is stored in SYSVOL, which is accessible to any user that is a member of the domain. During a pentest, you successfully mount the SYSVOL volume using user-level privileges on the domain. The domain server is a Windows 2012 server. Which file will contain the cPassword entry?
