Hi Josh. There are two elements to Group Policy - computer configuration and user
configuration. My guess is that you implemented policies in the user configuration in
which case the users need to be moved into the respective OU's. Keep in mind that
domain user password/account policy can only be configures at the domain level.
Gpresult can also help troubleshoot Group Policy issues. --- Steve
