Ok ... I did all of this... now I only have 1 question left: I had to
create a new GPO (called Roaming Users) to create the roaming
profiles, because the current GPO set is a bit of a mess.

Wise decision - I always recommend setting up your own custom ones anyway.

But how do
I apply the GPO to the appropriate Security Group? I created a new
security group (also named Roaming Users) as well, to avoid all users
becoming roaming, when only some of them need to be. But I can't
figure out how you apply the GPO to the SG.

Ah. Link the GPO to the MyBusiness OU in the GPMC. Don't muck around with
security groups for this.

Ok ... so ... I created the link ... now what? Does this get applied to all
users automatically, or is there an extra step I need to take? While doing
this, I noticed that NONE of the existing GPOs are actually linked to
anything. Is this an issue, or just a concern?

I need to re-read that article... seem to missing something :p .
