Hi,

You can stop a policy apply to a user either IF the OU they're in is set
to "block inheritance" from any OU upstream that's imposing that policy
OR if they are explicitly denied access to the policy in the appropaite
upstream OU.

Merging is just that, policies are merged together in a defined order
and you get the resultant. Eg if policy A denies something, and policy B
allows it, the end result depends on whether policy A or B comes first.

However in this particular case, the "Only one session per user" is a
machine policy, not a user policy so unless you want to put the machine
'demo' is using into it's own OU, with block inheritance set, you've got
a problem.

Regards,

Rick

OK, same issue as the dumb one, but this is a problem of understanding
rather than 'blindness'.

I've never really got how GPOs 'merge'.

I have a GPO, applied now to all servers, which states "Only on session
per user". I want to disable that GPO for one user, 'demo' (Who, for
convenicence, is also in his own OU, and his own security group). 

What I've tried;

1) Put permissions on the Allow_single_session_only GPO for the 'demo'
security group. I can see this group, I can set permissions, I click
'OK' and the group doesn't show up in the permissions list.

2) Create a GPO applied to the 'demo' OU, which specifically disable the
singel session value. No effect.

I know I'm being stupid, and have a feeling it's something  to do with
loopback, or permissions, but can't get to it.

Any help much appreciated, as we're mean to go public with this demo
soemtime today!

Nick
