really depends on your situation - if you always want the same user-policies to be applied to these machines, then you can live with a single GPO and configure it for loopback-processing.
This will then apply the computer-policy part for the machine and will apply the user-policy part for any user that logs on. You can choose replace or merge mode, whereby the latter will also apply other GPOs applied to the user via his OU-path (which may or may not be what you want). /Guido -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jared Manhat Sent: Monday, July 26, 2004 4:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Apply GP to computer account or user account? I see, so you cant just create 1 GPO with BOTH computer settings & user settings. That sux.

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?
