Group Policy Problems

Hello,

I am trying to configure a laptop for in-office and outside use. (See post
"Setting Up Laptop on the Network") Anyway, there are Group Policies that I
do not want applied to mobiles users and computers. With that, I created a
new OU in Active Directory under the one where all other users and computers
are stored to contain all mobile users and computers. On the properties of
the OU, I checked the Block Policy Inheritance box. On the parent OU, I
enabled No Override on those elements I wanted to apply to the mobile OU. It
seems like that should solve the problem, but when I run a Group Policy
Results report from the Group Policy Management Console, all GPOs are
applied. This doesn't seem right to me. Am I doing something wrong? Any
idea? Thanks,

Chris

you defeated itself! You set it to no override - which means lower levels
can't block it and then you blocked it.....well it ain't gonna block b/c it
is set NOT to be blocked!

Mark,

Thanks for the response. I didn't explain the problem correctly. The ones I
set to No Override were SUPPOSED to filter down to the OU. The rest should
have been blocked. My problem was that they weren't and I couldn't figure
out why. I did solve the problem though. Upon further examination, I
realized that the configuration did work. I was just wrong.

Sorry about the confusion. I guess the double negative start to confuse me.
Thanks again,

Chris
