hi all,

We have a user group defined for certain folks who connect via RWW only, who
need certain policies applied:
1. Force logoff after idle
2. Change IE homepage from company web
3. Specific file/folder auditing

I created a new OU and GPO (setting just the IE homepage for now), linked
the GPO to the OU, set teh OU to the group, verified the new GPO is the
first item in the OU Precedence list. The IE homepage is still set to
companyweb for the users in the group (applied via Default Domain Policy).

Then I set the OU to Block Inheritance, but still no joy.

What am I missing or doing wrong? Searching the web I see lots of references
to setting a no Override, but cannot find this option?

TIA,
SusanV

Go to the command prompt of a workstation logged in as a user of the new
group, and run: gpresult /r

Is the new GPO applied to the user? If not, try running: gpupdate /force and
check again to see if the GPO is applied

Susan,

Do this. Create the GPO by clicking on the domain name (domain.local) and
selecting 'create and link a gpo here'. Then go to MyBusiness OU, and
under 'Users' create a new OU. Right click on the new OU and select link an
existing GPO. Link the GPO you created here.

Click on the GPO and add the security group you want the GPO to apply to.
Remove the 'Authenticated Users' group. From the workstation run gpupdate
at the command prompt.

See if that helps. If not, run gpresults again and see if the OU is listed
and whether is applied or not
