Okay, I finally figured it out.
I was using the Group Policy Management Console and in there I was
adding a Group under the Security Filter. I also had placed that Group
under the OU Container in the Active Directory Users and Computers
console. This was failing.
My solution was to add only User accounts to the OU under the ADUC
console and accept the default Security Filter of "Authorized Users"
in the GPMC. Further testing with this in the GPMC shows that I can
use a specific Group in the Security Filter, but User accounts have to
be placed in the OU container in ADUC.
It's always one bloody little thing....
Thank you all. Take care.
