That much I think I understand, we have created a 2nd domain wide policy but are trying to apply it to only a select set of groups, not the entire domain. I'm beginning to think that this is impossible to do.

Any additional thoughts?

I thought that this type of Account policy was a Domain wide thing and not a
specific OU and that wanting different account policies was one of the
reasons one would set up child domains.

Trying to setup Group Policies to allow a certain group of users the ability to have blank passwords. However, the only way I can get blank passwords to be allowed is to apply the GPO to the "authenticated users" group. I don't want everyone to have blank passwords, just the users of a specific group that are in a specific OU.

What is the correct method for doing this? Should I be linking the GPO to
the OU or should I be using security permissions at the domain level?

Thanks for any help,
