Alternatively you can use security filtering to apply specific settings to
computers via group membership (computer objects being members of the
group).

We've implemeted GPOs in our environment OK -  but have one fundamental
issue. Our AD design is structured by department - so we have for example an
HR OU, an IT OU, a FINANCE OU etc. These OUs contain user objects. We have
not got an OU for computers - the computer objects all reside in a default
container - i understand i can move these object to an OU. This leads on to
my question - can the computer configuration part of a gpo be applied to 
user
objects ( or rather to OUs that contain user objects - I'm guessing NO - 
I've
configured a gpo with computer and user settings and applied it to an OU 
that
contains user objects - only the user configuration gets applied. Am I right
in saying I'll need to configure OUs to put my computer objects in and apply
a GPO that contains the computer configuration settings - I was trying to
avoid this.
Thanks
