Can a GPO created in Computer configuration/Admin Template/system/user policies be linked to a users OU

Make sure "Authenticated Users" is in the Security Filtering.

it is.  see attached

did you tried to block the inheritance and give a try, may be other policy overriding this policy.

Hi,

Please confirm that you defined settings in GPO in 'User Configuration' part of the GPO. And you should be logged in to the user computer with a user account which is in one of those two OUs and then run GPResult /r

No it cannot.

jrsitman! Hey is this about the same policy we were just talking about?

@joshua G  yes.  I was hoping there was another way to accomplish this.

@SreRaj, the GPO is a computer configuration.

@joshua G.  You going to help?

A user group policy that has a computer configuration to modify HKLM should still work, usually with a gpupdate as targeted user, reboot to get policy, log in as target user to apply policy, and reboot to make it effective. I have done that before and it has worked. Although you typically want a computer GPO in a computer OU, it is possible.

Ok Gabriel,

He has listed the policy he needs, help him out.

This setting is a global setting for HKLM but have at it

In the "user" policies the items I want to configure don't exist.  they are only in the "computer' policy.  So I believe Joshua G is correct.

OK, let me see if I follow this correctly first. You have a GPO under a user OU that modifies computer configuration registry key under HKLM. Is that correct? If not can you explain it to me better.

The policies he is referring to are in here

Computer Configuration/Admin Template/System/User Policies

Joshua G is correct.

Ok, I have created a test GPO with those settings, the policy applied, but not the settings. Doing some research, the settings in that section MUST be applied to a computer OU.

ok, let me know if you figure it out

Thanks

Thanks
