Re: Set GPO for specific user group

Go to the command prompt of a workstation logged in as a user of the new group, and run: gpresult /r

Is the new GPO applied to the user? If not, try running: gpupdate /force and check again to see if the GPO is applied

hi all,

We have a user group defined for certain folks who connect via RWW only, who need certain policies applied:
1. Force logoff after idle
2. Change IE homepage from company web
3. Specific file/folder auditing

I created a new OU and GPO (setting just the IE homepage for now), linked the GPO to the OU, set teh OU to the group, verified the new GPO is the first item in the OU Precedence list. The IE homepage is still set to companyweb for the users in the group (applied via Default Domain Policy).

Then I set the OU to Block Inheritance, but still no joy.

What am I missing or doing wrong? Searching the web I see lots of references to setting a no Override, but cannot find this option?

TIA,
SusanV
