Hi,<br />
I am planning a printer deployment group policy preferences using user settings.<br />
I have crated a test OU, and group, added my self to the group and created the GPP. The preference is applying to the test OU only and I have added the group to the security filtering of the preference. My user account is the only member of the security group. I have removed authenticated users from the filter list.<br />
<br />
What I am finding is that when I am a member of the group the preference doesn't apply. <br />
If I add my user account directly into the OU it is applied.<br />
<br />
Domain functional level is server 2008.<br />
<br />
<br />
Can anyone help explain why the policy &nbsp;will not apply to the group?<br />
<br />
Thanks.
