Group Policy Not Working

[C_Guy]

Hi everyone;

I am a local administrator of a PC on a domain. The
domain level group policy is overwritting my local grouop
policy settings. Is there a way to prevent this?

If I use System Restore and go back to a point before the
domain settings were introduced, and disconnect the
netowrk cable before boot-up, I get my local Group Policy
settings enforced. Several hours after plugging the
cable back in, the domain level policies overwrite my
local ones.

This happens despite the fact that I ENABLE 'Turn off
background refresh of Group Policy'.

I have the power to use Actvie Directory to block group
policy inheretance in my OU but don't think my supervisor
would be too pleased if I did that.

Is there a way I can block domain level group policy from
taking over local settings on my PC?

Thanks!

AD applied GPO always overwrites setting from local policy.
The solution is to
1. change the AD applied GPO to not apply the setting that
you do not want applied
or better
2. separate the GPO into two, one with all settings that should
always be applied to all and one with the settings that are to
be only applied to some and then use security group filtering
to limit to what it is applied
or
3. move the machine and/or user object out of the scope of
management of the GPO that applies the setting(s)
