If I want to apply a certain group policy that maps a drive to a certain
path upon user login, and I apply that GPO on the root domain and target
only members of a SpecificGroup, that GPO will not be processed or impact
login performance for users that are non members of that group, right ?
Just wanted to confirm because I receive too many requests to map drives
based on group membership and I wanted to make sure that is viable.
