Re: Removing One Server from Group Policy



Can someone explain the difference between these three cases,
where there is an OU under the root named Servers and an OU under
that named "Proxy Servers". Assume for the moment that Servers
has its own group policy and that Proxy Servers has its own as
well.


Case 1: List All Policies for Proxy Server. In this case the
Group Policy list for Proxy Servers reads:

Proxy Server Group Policy
Server Group Policy
Default Domain Policy

As I understand this case, I only need to change the specific
items in Proxy Server Policy that make it different from Servers.
I do NOT need to restate the entire policy in the Proxy Server
Group Policy. Is it right?


Case 2: List Only New Group Policy. In this case the Group
Policy list for Proxy Servers reads:

Proxy Server Group Policy

What I am not clear on in this case is how are the parent
policies being applied? What is the difference between Case 2
and Case 1 in terms of what gets applied and in what priority?


Case 3: Block Inheritance. In this case the Group Policy list
for Proxy Servers reads:

Proxy Server Group Policy

and Block Inheritance checkbox is selected. In this case I
guess the entire policy must be entered into Proxy Server Group
Policy, and nothing from any parent inherits.


It seems to me like Case 1 is less work than Case 3. I would
prefer Case 2 if I could be sure that the inheritance won't take
precedence over the one policy I list, simply because then I
don't need to maintain the parent relationships inside of the
child object.
