GPO question: how to properly assign to computer objects

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

I’m sure this is GPO Management 101, but I have been getting mixed
results using a GPO to route workstations to my WUS server.

My GPO sits in a "Registered Workstation" OU. In order for this GPO
to properly apply to the computers in this container, do I add the
computer object names directly to the GPO? Or should the simple fact
that this GPO is hanging in the same OU as these computer objects be
enough?

Thanks to all for reading!

Hi,

Put the Computers in the OU that has the Group Policy Applied to it.
Make sure that the settings you want to apply are in the Computer
Config section of the group policy.

You are good to go. It is that simple.


Cheers,

Lara

Excellent news! I was thinking it was silly that I would have to
manually add computer objects for this to work.

Thanks for taking the time to help!

No problem. The ease of use is what I love about Active Directory.
