Computer vs. User configuration
In creating Group Policies you can set both User Configuration and Computer
configuration settings. Then, you can apply these gpo's to OU's containing
either Computers or Users.
Do you always assign GPO's with Computer Configuration settings to OU's
containing Computers, and assign GPO's with User Configuration Settings to
OU's containing Users?
It seems that sometimes a GPO setting won't have any effect if, for example,
it is a user configuration setting applied to a Computer OU. What is the rule
of thumb here?
