Do Group Policies apply to groups? "Carlos Felipe França da Fonseca" <carlosfelipefranca[ at ]gmail.com> 12/18/2008 5:37:21 AM User1 is in OU1. User1 is a member of a group2 in OU2. Group 2 is a member of group3 in OU3. All those three OUs are in the same level and are linked to different GPOs. In this situation, how are GPOs applied ? Thanks, Felipe

GPOs only apply to _direct_ objects in the OU they are linked to. In your scenario, User1 would only apply policies linked to OU1. Group Policy doesn't apply to security groups - only to user and computer accounts. cheers, Florian -- Microsoft MVP - Group Policy eMail: prename [at] frickelsoft [dot] net. blog: http://www.frickelsoft.net/blog.

RE: Do Group Policies apply to groups? PassPlay 12/18/2008 6:13:02 PM A GPO will apply to the OU it is assigned to. GPOs will apply to a Group, as long as the group and its memers are within that OU the GPO is assigned to.
