I'm trying to define the GPOs on my new AD domain, and i'm a little confused. I've never worked with AD, but i've extensively used MLGPO, where i can explicitly apply GPOs to users/groups. Two examples, of my confusion. 1) i've setup password policies (8 chars, 5-row password history, ...), and this is a ''computer'' policy, that apply... to computers. ;-) But... there's some way to have domain computer policy apply ony to... domain users, and not local one?! 2) i've setup also user policy, eg, the profile (enabled and set a quota). Also this seems to apply to all users, also local ones. For that i've found (many!) article like that: http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2010/05/how-to-apply-a-group-policy-object-to-individual-users-or-computer/ and so seems to me that 'Authenticated User' apply to all users, also local one. It is safe to remove policy 'apply' to 'Authenticated User' and add an ACL for, eg, 'Domain Users' group? Or i'm really missing something?! Thanks. -- dott.

Or i'm really missing something?!You probably could, but all 'Authenticated Users' will be domain members and as such will also be members of the 'Domain Users' group, so why bother. I feel that you haven't explained your set up very well, especially your 'local users'. Rowland
Mandi! Rowland Penny via samba In chel di` si favelave...> You probably could, but all 'Authenticated Users' will be domain > members and as such will also be members of the 'Domain Users' group, > so why bother.No. But wait... AHA! Sorry to the list, sorry Rowland: i've two policies, one that set profile quota (user-based), and one that set profile path (computer based). Effectively the computer-based policy apply also to local users, so local users get a ''roaming'' profile set (that clearly does not work) but no quota, as expected. So, simply a question remain: there's some way to set a computer policy based on users? Probably the answer is 'no', and this lead as a consequences that profiles it is better to be defined in user data and not in policies...> I feel that you haven't explained your set up very well, especially > your 'local users'.Oh, a local user, for example: net user ospite ospite /fullname:"Utente Ospite" /comment:"Utente ospite sicuro" /passwordchg:no /expires:never wmic USERACCOUNT WHERE "Name=ospite" SET PasswordExpires=FALSE ('ospite' mean 'guest' in italian). -- dott.
