Re: Group Policy Inheritance

["Saqib Ali" <docbook.xml () gmail com>]

Group Policies Can be Enforced at parent level. Enforced policies can
not be blocked. Password policy is a good cadidate for enforced
policy.

GPOs take effect in the following order:
   1. Local Machine
   2. Sites
   3. Domain
   4. OU

See:

for more info

Install the GPMC (Group Policy Management Console):
 < http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/gpmc/default.mspx > from
Microsoft.com.
It has the "Group Policy Results" (last item in the tree) tool that
will tell you the final applicable policies.
