GPO Question

Hi All.

I'm quite clued up about GPO and OU etc but have a small question.

I basically have a set a computers which I don't want to apply a GPO to when anybody logs on. So when a user logs on they have complete control.

Ideally, I will then work on a seperate GPO just for these computers. I presume this is possible?

yep, if you have policy's above the OU you've created (ie at the domain level) use block policy inheritance on the OU for the PC's that you dont want to use a policy..

use loopback processing in on the computer GPO and leave the user section blank

Well I have 2 OUs

1) Managed Users, then thats split into different OUs depending on departement. Each department has different GPO which apply at login

2) Managed Computers. All I want is to drop the computers in here which will apply no GPO.

I don't have any GPOs above the OUs (apart from the default domain ones).

When people login I want it to check computer name, if in Managed Computers then load nothing, else go to Managed USers find the user and load that GPO.

Hope this makes sense. I just couldn't quite figure out what you meant :confused:
