assign gpo based on computer

[jjohnsoncantell]

Greetings,

 

I have a user gpo that i want to deploy based on the computer the user logs on to. I have separate ou's containing each of my IT rooms however in one of these rooms im testing a different version of IE and want different settings to apply to uusers logging onto said machines.

 

If i deploy my user gpo for the new version of IE into the ou containing said computers, will they still be picked up by the user during logon? Normally i would deploy the gpo into the users ou however i dont want anyone else to be affected by the changes save for the users logging onto these different clients.

 

Thanks

James

I might be wrong, but I think you can still target the GPO based on the computer - you might have to target it to all computers by name rather than the easier by container or OU method

You need to enable loopback policy processing for this to work under the GPO.

Add the computers to a group, specically add the Computer group to the security filtering removing authenticated users and set the policy that makes the required changes to enforced.

 

Should do the trick.
