    It might be best to have the local GPO good and tight. That way there are
    fewer polices that have to be applied across the network at start up and
    logon. It's also the only policy to apply to local accounts on that machine.

    If you want to back off any of the local policies you can override them with
    the Domain or OU polcy.

    As far as I understand it, this would allow someone to remove the box
    from the domain and operate under the looser local policy. A larger
    question is of what benefit it is to you?
