Re: GPO configuration

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Password policies apply only at the domain level. So, if you link GPO
containing password policies in any other place than at Domain (site or
OU).... It will not apply !!!

If you have to configure 2 or more Password policies, ou have to setup 2 or
more domain !
