Group Policy & Local Policy

Any thoughts: If a Policy has been enabled is that only for that PC or the
end user logged in.

Example: if i log in as Admin, will i see what i have the policies not
diabled or not configured for me, but for the end user it is disabled for
them.

If not is it possible to do this?

Thanks

Re: Group Policy & Local Policy

They can be applied to different user groups, but not specific users.

RE: Group Policy & Local Policy

Depends...

Various Group Policies can be applied at the Computer level or at the User
level. Some settings can be applied at both, so that all users of a machine
get the same settings or all users of a particular Group or Organizational
Unit (OU). It is important to understand how policies are processed so that
the actual computing environment for the machine/user is what is intended.

Ploicies process in the following order:

Local
Site
Domain
OU

and within each of those, Computer Policies process before the User
policies. There are also settings which can confound this straight-forward
order, such as Policy enforcement (no override), Loopback, and filtering.

Try using the Resultant Set of Policy tool (RSoP.msc) to determine what a
given user on a given machine SHOULD be receiving. The tool can be used in
logging or planning mode and is invaluable for troubleshooting.



that the machine and/or user are members of
