Can anyone tell me why the build in "Computers OU" in AD 2003 is unable to apply GPO?

    Like Sie mentioned, it's not an organizational unit, it's a container -- just like the "Users" container. Group Policies can only be applied to organizational units, not containers.

    They can be applied to OU's, Sites, or Domains. Or individual computers/users as well, as in Local Group Policy.

    Sorry for the little typo here, I meant to say container, I get mixed up with this two sometimes icon_redface.gif, I am aware of GPO application to an OU, Domain Level, Sites as well local GPO on client Computers/Users.

    I guess this answers my question then, GPO just cannot be applied with container even if you assign it on the site level or domain level, I had an assumption that it will inherit it cause I did not block policy inheritance on Domain Level, so it's kind of confusing.


    Thanks, you guys rock!!!

    Thanks for expanding on my very limited classification of GPO application, Mark! icon_thumright.gif

    You already knew that. icon_cool.gif

    I knew what you meant, but was just clarifying for other readers. :)
