Re: Need some clarification on Group policies

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Unless you specifically block the policy from the Parent, the parent OU
settings will effect sub-OU's (unless there is a conflict). Whenever there
is a conflict between the policy of a sub-OU and one from above, the sub-OU
policy wins (as it is closer to the object), unless the parent OU is set to
"Enforced" (formerly known as "No Override"). When you have multiple
policies on the same OU, the one at the top of the list has priority and
it's settings win out in case of conflict. When there is no conflict, all
settings from all policies apply.

I'm a newbie at this Group policy stuff. Here is what I inherited. I have
an
OU, let's call it STAFF. Staff as "sub" OUs underneath it. We'll call them
SALES, PRODUCTION and SHIPPING. The admin before me created four GP and put
them at the STAFF OU level. Do these GP affect all the sub OUs and if so,
how are they read? If there are four GPs, does the first one in the list
take precedence or does the last one? Also, if anyone knows of any good
material that explains this, can you send it my way?

Thanks,

Jim
