Thanks Steve I understand this concept, but what I want to
know about is inheritence.
top level OU has an OU in it. applied GPO to Top level OU,
does the Child OU inherit the GPO from the parent.
If it does then where can see what GPO is applied to this
child OU.
as when I tested this out, there is no GPO listed under
the properties- group policy tab of child OU.

thanks

TC
