It is a Computer Configuration Policy that I am talking about. I suppose I'm a bit fuzzy on the whole 'adding the Domain Computers group.' Could you give me a bit more information about how that is applied?
Look, it's quite simple:
In order to be able to apply a policy, two things need to be given:
(a) the objects needs to be in the scope of the policy (in the OU or SubOU) and
(b) the object needs to have "Read" and "Apply Group Policy" permissions on the GPO.
For "object(s)", you can fill in user accounts and computer accounts. Until now this should be clear to you.
In order to apply a computer configuration policy, the computer objects need to have "Read" and "Apply Group Policy" permissions on the GPO just like users would need those permissions on "user configuration" GPOs. It's the computer that accesses the GPO in that case. So - when security filtering a computer configuration policy, you'll have to take security groups with computer objects in it to grant access to the GPO.
The whole things worked with "Authenticated Users" because the "Domain Computers" group with all those computer accounts is member of "Authenticated Users".
You basically just need to use computer accounts fpr the GPO filtering rather than user accounts.
cheers,
Florian
