I'm confused..............or maybe am just reading this wrong.
Excuse me if I am rehashing things already known. Even though you use Security Filtering, the GPO still has to be applied to a container (OU).

It's my understanding that this is what OU's were meant for, even though this method would also work. If I were to do this, I would create a policy, and assign the user (or user group if applicable) to the security filtering box in that policy. It seems cleaner and with less steps this way. So my questions is, why would one choose the OU method over the Security Filter method for situations like this where simple policy settings are to be applied to a single or small group of users? -- Mike Gill From: David W.

Created an OU on the DC for No Internet Applied the policy to the OU. Moved user to the OU. User still gets to the Internet even after a GPUPDATE /Force and reboot. RSOP says two policies exist No Internet (Higher) Domain Default GPResults show No Internet Not applying but nothing in the events (that I can see) on the client or the DC???
