The default containers are meant strictly as that, default. AD is designed
for a design if you will, not just using the defaults.

Hmmm, so even though I cannot apply a GPO to the Computers container, you
say that if I apply it to the Root Domain it will then still be inherited by
the Computers Container?
Thatâs funny, I just assumed that because the Computers Container couldnât
have a GPO, it wouldnât inherit one eitherâ
One wonders then what is the reasoning behind not being able to apply the
GPO to the container???
Thanks

Hi William,
Whats wrong with configuring the Default Domain Group Policy at the root of
your Domain Tree.
And if you have some exeptions with some machines then you put them in an OU
you and define a group policy that will not inherit the Default Domin GP.

Hi guys
Sorry for the intrusion but Microsoft says my question is a "HowTo" question
and they don't support those, so I thought I might be able to bug the likes
of you guys for some assistance.
I know that it is not possible to apply a Group Policy to an Active
Directory Container. You can only apply a GPO to an OU. Problem with this is
that how do you then apply a GPO to all your workstations. Such as the GPO
to apply SUS Server settings etc.
In Win2003 you can use the redircmp.exe tool to redirect the default
Computers to a different place, such as an OU, and thus have the GPO
applied, but in Win2000 I would like to know if there is anything similar -
because I cannot find it.
As I see it I have 2 solutions:
1) Manually copy workstations from the Computers Container to an OU of my
choice - repetitive task
2) Upgrade to Win2003 - Not on the cards at the moment
Would anyone perhaps have any advice on this for me?
Thanks guys
William R.
