That's the way I've done it here Ken. The Security groups don't have to be users, you can make one with computers as the members. (Last two sentences for OP, not Ken...)

It typically goes against OU design principles. To the OP - why don't you create a Domain Local security group to put your computer objects into. Use the security group to filter the GPO. That's not to say a "Test OU" isn't a good idea - it can be. But place your test machines in there, and then use security groups to filter the various GPOs applied to the computers or VMs in the Test OU. But I would NOT create an OU just to test this piece of software Cheers Ken -----Original Message----- From: Liu, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 1 January 2008 11:29 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Simple GPO/Application Deployment Question Or, create another OU, dunp computers you want to have update applied & link the GPO From: Mike Gill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 31, 2007 7:15 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Simple GPO/Application Deployment Question I've set up the Office Compatibility update to deploy to those users who do not have Office 2007 on our network. I chose to deploy this update based on computer name instead of user. When I do this, I can only select one computer name at a time in the Security Filter. My network is small, but this becomes tedious. Is there a good practical reason I'm not seeing that allows me to select multiple objects at once except when it comes to computer names? There are just a lot of clicks involved this way and I would think Admins of a larger network would find a better way. -- Mike Gill ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ No virus found in this incoming message.
