RE: [ActiveDir] Weird GPO question

Title: Message

This works for Win2000 only it says.  What if you don't want a GPO to apply to an XP box?  Put the XP box in a group and restrict access in the GPO rights to that group? -----Original Message----- From: Narkinsky, Brian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 9:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Weird GPO question Perfect exactly what I needed.   Brian   -----Original Message----- From: Fuller, Stuart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 5:32 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Weird GPO question   Brian,   Look at Group Policy loopback - See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;231287   -Stuart   From: Narkinsky, Brian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 2:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Weird GPO question We are trying to develop a GPO to enforce a screensaver/workstation locking.  We have it working fine as long as we apply it to the Users OU.  However here is the problem.   We want to enforce this policy by machine.  We have lots of laboratory equipment that people watch the screen "hands off"   SO we don't want these machines locking.  I thought if I applied the GPO to an OU with computer accounts in it the users would pick up the settings when they logged onto that machine.  But the only way they pick it up is if I apply it to the users OU.    SO how do I make a user setting apply to a group of machines? I was thinking of modifying the templates so the the Screen Saver settings are in the machine section.  But am I missing something here.   Forgive me if I sound/am terribly confused.   Brian       Brian Narkinsky System Manager Department of Environmental Protection MS 6520 2600 Blairstone RD Tallahassee, FL 32399 phone (850)245-8314 fax (850)412-0400   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This e-mail is confidential, may contain proprietary information of the Cooper Cameron Corporation and its operating Divisions and may be confidential or privileged.
