I made it in the Group Policy Management tool on a my 2003 AD server, it’s enabled and at the top of the OU called DESKTOPS
There are three separate OUs inside that container, desktops, laptops, and qadevsystems
Each of those OUs has a few specific policies applied to them but they all inherit from the top level
