Password policy, no override

My default domain policy's computer settings, (min password length, lockout
duration, etc.) kept being set back to their old settings a few minutes
after modifying them. It wasn't until I checked the enforced checkbox on the
gpo that the default domain policy computer settings remained changed
permanently. Strangely enough, the computer portion of the GPO remained
unchanged, the login banner. I don't understand why checking the enforced,
no override, box fixed the problem, or why it was a problem to begin with. I
also recently experienced the same problem, and solution, at a bottom level
OU policy in the computer settings of a GPO.

thank you,
Bill
