Re: Account Policies - Windows 2003 Server



Prior to Windows Server 2008 native AD domain there may be only
one domain account policy per domain, and this affects all accounts
in the domain equally.

Dear All,

need your help.
I'm stuck in that the GPO only allow me to configure the "account
policies" from Computer Configuration.
I could not find the way to allow me to configure it by "User
Configuration", cause I would like to define the "Account Policies" for
the Users group those located on different OU.
I would like to know is it possible to define different "Account Policies"
for different OU on Windows 2003 AD.
Like I create a OU name "Finance" and I would like to apply a special
"Account Policies" for this OU.
Then create another OU name "Enginnering" then to apply another "Account
Policies" for this that different with OU "Finance".

Thanks a lot

sammy
