Explanation

Group Policy (GPO) in a Windows Active Directory environment allows administrators to centrally define and push configuration settings - including password policies - to all computers in the domain simultaneously. This is the correct tool for making a change across 2,000 endpoints without touching each machine individually. A security group is used to organize users/computers for permission assignment, not to push configuration changes. Key escrow stores encryption keys with a third party. Certificate revocation invalidates PKI certificates. None of those alternatives accomplish a mass password change.
