GPO Processing order

The way that GPOs are processed are Local, Site, Domain, and OU. Lets say that at the site level I have an option set and at the OU level I have an option set. Since the options don't conflict each other are both applied, or does the OU GPO totally wipe out the domain OU?

The LDSOU order was mentioned a few times in the thread (and if I'm not mistaken here) it should actually be LSDOU and hence applied in this order:
Local > Site > Domain > OU

Group Policy processing and precedence: Group Policy

This is what I remember as I learned it like this:

Local = Local
Shops = Site
Do = Domain
Prefer = Parent (OU)
Cash = Child (OU)

That agrees with what NetAdmin is saying. Local --> Site --> Domain --> OU

You just are breaking down a little bit more how the OU level is applied working one's way down the OU tree.

What are you thinking is contradictory?

I was actually referring to your post about LDSOU and agreeing with the post I quoted; I can see how my post above may be confusing.

I apoligize for any confusion I may have caused.

No problem. I have been proven to be an idiot in this thread
