I came across a question on an exam preparation test. The answered indicated
that a user could "log on" to the domain and have user based GPOs, in which
their user account has allow-read and allow-apply rights, applied to their
account even though there PC wasn't a member of the domain (stand-a-loan).

My laptop isn't a member of any domain, but I often connect to domain
resources at my customer's sties without any problem. Windows pops up a
dialog for entering credentials. I simply have to enter a domain\userid and
password. But of course, I'm simply authenticating against AD, I'm not
logging into AD, and therefore, no login script is ever ran and no GPOs are
ever applied.

Does anyone know what this exam prep question was trying to say? Or are they
just bowing wind?

TIA
