I know this will be simple for several of you but for some reason my mind
can't grab this concept....

Screen saver is activated via GPA at the domain level. I have a few PC's
that we need to turn this feature off.

How do I do this short of creating a new OU for these machines, blocking
inheritance, and then maintaining second GP identical to the Domain one
except for turning off the screen saver?

I am trying to avoid having to maintain two separate GP's that are
identical except for the Screen saver issue. I don't mind activating a
second one just to turn off the screen saver, as long as I can keep the root
domain level policy applying with my default settings.
