Yes, you could do it that way, applying one policy across the domain
and using an overriding GPO on an OU to exempt some machines.
However, beware: Software Restriction Policy only applies to
XP and W2k3, and is very powerful and takes some experimentation
to get used to. Also, I am speaking of Software Restriction Policy,
not older, weaker policy available in W2k.
