Why each option
Group Policy (gpedit.msc) is the correct domain-level tool for changing user account rights and group memberships across multiple domain workstations simultaneously.
rstrui.exe launches System Restore and is used to roll back system state; it has no capability to manage user accounts or group memberships.
The Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) allows administrators to configure Restricted Groups settings under Computer Configuration, which enforces domain-wide group membership changes on all targeted machines at the next policy refresh. This is the most efficient and authoritative method for altering user privileges across multiple domain-joined workstations at once.
lusrmgr.msc is the Local Users and Groups Manager, which only applies changes to the local machine and cannot be used to push group membership changes across domain workstations.
usergroup.exe is not a valid Windows system utility and does not exist as a standard tool.
