OU Creation and linking GPO to it

[Luis Jesus]

Hi all,

I would like to have an OU with a group of computers and
have a STARTUP script apply to only this OU. I have
created a OU and have a GPO linked to it but for some
reason it is not applying. How long do I have to wait for
the policy to apply? I have also a domain wide policy
which is applying fine. I have ran GPResult and it shows
on the user portion that it is applying the domain wide
policy but on the computer side it is not applying the OU
GPO. Any ideas??

It's not necessary to wait until policies reply, you can use secedit for W2K
or gpupdate for WXP:
