RE: Applying Group Policies to selective OUs...

["Rex Choi" <rchoi () americanchartered com>]

The one point to make in this all is the behaviour of a GPO that sets
password policy. 

If you apply a password policy to an OU, it will impact local accounts
on the computers in the OU but will not impact any domain accounts if
you already have a password policy on the domain level.

I believe there has been much discussion on this topic (or maybe it was
a different list I'm on) and I'm sure you can dig it up the whole
thread/argument if you want more info or detail on this.

Hello,

You can link group policies to a Site, Domain or OU. Check the Microsoft

link below which is a step-by-step guide to understanding the Group
Policy 
Feature Set.
