Stop group policy applying on a per computer basis

Hi we have a few computers here at a branch office connected to the domain controller via VPN, we want to block all GPO inheritance to these machines except a specific gpo tailored for these, what is the easiest way to accomplish this?

I have created a seperate OU for the computers and applied a GPO here and blocked inheritance but it does not seem to be having the desired effect.

Try with separate domain group for those computers and use Group Policy Filtering. More about that at

How to implement that

and Mike has very good post on his blog at

filtering will not work in our case.

We would like to use a method that will even stop user GPO to be applied if anyone logs onto these PCs in the branch office? is it possible to use loopback to so that they can login without folder redirection?
