Oh yeah, forgot about ownership. Not that this is mentioned in the book, harumph. In fact, these are all good points that I will be sure to mention, since it looks as though it's going to be Tuesday when I hand this in. I was wondering, since this GPO is attached to an OU that contains only user objects, yet applies to the *computer* configuration, is this part of the problem? Bear in mind that one of the other questions here requires knowing that policies involving antivirus software are not affected by Block Policy Inheritance, and it may help to explain why I am looking for something sneaky.
