Group Policy Question.

[clynch]

I set up an OU and add a policies to it to pull Windows
Update from a SUS Server and was wondering if all I have
to do is start adding people into the OU and the policy
will take affect, and if so how long does it take to
apply the changes?

Thanks in advance

We have done the same except applied the GPO to computer
accounts. Once computers are moved to the OU with the
GPO, the GPO is applied usually within 10 to 20 minutes.
You can check the computer's system event log to see if
updates have been downloaded (if any are needed).
