Populating an OU
Hi,
I am new to the whole OU set-up and need to get some clarification on how I can achieve my aim.
What I want to do is as follows:
I have users that will use a roaming profile, I have added them to a group called "Roaming" I have created an OU called Roaming. What I want to do is apply a Group Policy to the Roaming OU which in turn will contain the Roaming group. I can create a new Group Policy Object Editor on the domain which I will want to use to set the control on the Roaming OU. How do I get the Group Policy Object Editor to be applied to the Roaming OU? - Is this the correct way to go about this to achieve my aim?
Thanks,
jonathanr

Hi jocasio123,
OK, it is 2003. I have done what you said but I cannot get any of the modifications that I am testing with to show up on the test user when they log in. I have got "No Override" set on the policy in the OU and I have played with the "Block inheritance" option too - do you have an idea where I am going wrong?
Thanks,

jonathanr:
rickardc is correct. I had to reread your initial post when I read his post. Add the users to the OU. Once you do this, you should be good to go. You also have to wait until the GPO propagates

helpful command line (on XP clients):
gpupdate /force
this will force rereading of GPO and apply them to the machine - without a reboot

Can you detail how I would "- Link GPO to OU I created in step 1"
thanks,
