GPO status

in W2008, in the details tab of a GPO, there is a drop down box next to GPO status:
it shows:
Enable
User settings disabled
computer settings disabled
....
....

in which case we use this drop down box?

thanks

If a GPO is applied to users, it means automatically is disabled for computers and vice-versa
unless if there are 2 similar settings on 2 GPOs applied to computer and users and in this case the computer policy wins
there is a loopback policy, that uses merge , which can be applied to both.
even in this case it doesn't make sense at all.

I am not sure why it s there(GPO status)

I believe you in your comment you meant when 2 GPOs settings conflict (user and computer GPOs) always the computer gpo wins, instead of what it is been said in the previous comment.

Regarding GPO status drop down box, to me I don't see any benefits of it there.
