Jared- You can, but the GPO just has to be linked appropriately. For example, if you two OUs-one containing users and one containing computers, you can link that one GPO to both. Or, if those two OUs share a parent OU, then you link it to that parent OU. And, of course, you can always link the GPO to the domain, but then everyone gets it unless you security group filter it. I always recommend linking as close to the targets as possible, for simplicity sake.

You'll need to apply your Computer GPO to the OUs that contain your computer objects and your User GPO to the OUs that contain your user objects. Note that the computer settings in the GPO will apply to the computer and are not affected by user logon and logoff.

I want them both to be applied when User's log on. If I attach them both to an OU containing users then will the computer GP be applied, or do I need to link the Computer GP to an OU containing computers and the User GP to an OU containing only users?
