Re: exclude admin account in domain ou



Flint presented the following explanation :
If I have settings in the domain OU that I want to exclude the administator account, what's the best way of doing that? Putting the admin account in it's own OU doesn't seem to work as the domain OU is overridding any settings on the newly created OU.

Thanks.

1) "block policy inheritance"

2) create a GPO where you explicitly alter settings you desperately need acces to

3) do not set a top GPO to strict and create second top level OU's to do your bussiness in

4) use filtering on base of group membership
