No override means that lower-level GPO settings can’t override settings in the GPO. In that case, nothing get’s applied from the GPO. The GPO is linked to the OU, but the link is disabled.

GPO user settings get applied at user logon.GPO computer settings get applied during system boot.In addition to this, in the case of conflicting user and computer settings, you should understand the following: In the below example, the GPO with the highest link order will win over any conflicting settings in lower link order GPO’s: This means the lower in your OU hierarchy you configure the GPOs, the more dominant they are (as they get applied last, thereby overwriting previously applied settings). GPO’s set at a lower level OU will override GPO’s set at a higher level OU.GPO’s set with a lower link order (e.g., 1) on the same OU will override GPOs set with a higher link order (e.g., 3) on the same OU.Nevertheless, these are the “basic” rules of GPO appliance: What are the effective settings applied in the case of multiple, conflicting GPO’s?įirst of all, you should avoid configuring conflicting settings in your GPO’s. Since multiple GPO’s can have conflicting settings and since even computer and user settings can sometimes configure the same setting, an important question arises: Disabling both computer and user settings will effectively disable the GPO.
