I need to create Group Policy to set the lock screen to 15 minutes on some of the computers.
I was able to create the group policy but it is doing it to all computers. How do I select the computers I want it on?

If all the computers are in the same OU, you can use Security Filtering to specify the computers that should be affected by that policy. All you need to do is create a security group in the OU, for example "Lock Screen Group," and add all of the computers you want to control to that group. Then add the group to the Security Filtering list in the properties of the policy.

I am just starting to use GP. How do I apply the GP to an OU?

Be sure you REMOVE any current links to the policy. If it's just under the main domain name, it's probably linked to the entire domain, so that would override any other links you might create. What you'd want to do in that case would be to right-click on it and click "Link Enabled" to remove the domain-level link.
Then once you remove the link to the top-level domain, in order to link it to the computers OU, right-click on the OU name and select "Link Existing GPO," and then choose your policy from the list of existing policies.
