After looking at this for a bit, here is what I have come up with.  Here is my 
setup.  At the root of the domain I have a policy. Under the OU of Test I have 
a policy.  Under the OU Lab (which is an OU inside of Test) I have a policy.

Domain policy has computer and user settings
Test OU policy has computer and user settings
Lab OU policy only has user settings

If I don't put Authenicated Users as "apply group policy" allow on the Test OU 
(even though I have a group that my test user is in with the same settings) 
then that policy doesn't get applied nor does the policy on the Lab OU.  If I 
run the Results wizard on this machine with my test user, without authenticated 
users then I get the following:



Under the computer config summary \ Group Policy Objects \ Applied GPOs
I get the default Domain Policy (but this policy has authenticated users "apply 
group policy")


Under the computer config summary \ Group Policy Objects \ Denied GPOs
Name

Link Location

Reason Denied

Local Group Policy

Local

Empty

{E12678B5-A484-4084-B0B2-9868F6ECDF9B}

Root domain/Test/

Inaccessible


{BD2C1ECB-FEF4-4AB3-B4B3-6D2D9673D858}

Root domain/Test/Lab

Inaccessible




And under the User config these 2 policies don't even show up.



Now if on the test OU I add authenticated users and "apply group policy" set to 
allow here is what happens:

Under the computer config summary \ Group Policy Objects \ Applied GPOs
I get the default Domain Policy (which has the authenticated users "apply group 
policy" set to allow)
I also get the Test OU Policy (which now has the authenticated users "apply 
group policy" set to allow)

Under the User config I now get all 3. Despite the fact that on the Lab OU 
Policy all I do not have authenticated users set but I do have the group my 
user is in set to allow "apply group policy"


Also if I take a user that has deny on the Test OU policy it applies the 
computer config but only denies the user config, should it not deny the whole 
policy?

Scott-
This should work if I understand your scenario. How have you granted the deny 
ACE? What are you denying? Have you looked at the Effective Permissions tab in 
the ACL editor to see if it thinks that your computer in question has the 
correct rights?

I have been upgrading my policies to the new vista format.  I have a seemingly 
simple question about permissions.  How do I stop the computer configuration 
from being applied to certain groups.  I have to put authenticated users as 
apply for the computer configuration to take place.  But if I have a nested 
group and set that as deny it still gets the computer configuration, which has 
caused a huge problem and headache this Friday morning.

Basically I have a policy that I want one nested group to get but not another.

Thanks in advance,
Scott
