I am applying a GPO to a workstations OU in one location, the GPO is being applied to all the machines located in that OU folder, is there a way to apply the GPO to 90% of the machines but to prevent it from being applied to a select few machines?<br />
<br />
Basically there are a few machines which I can't apply the GPO to, the settings would make the machines not work well.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Applying a GPO to only selected machines, not all the machines.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
