If you are running the Group Policy Management Console and a Windows 2003 
server, use Group Policy Modeling within the
GPMC to confirm. After the policy is applied, use Group Policy Results within 
the GPMC to confirm.

Local, Site, Domain, OU

 

Then it's top OU, then next OU, then next OU  the bottom GPO in the OU takes 
precendence.

 

Default - GPO1 w/screensaver1

-->OU1 - GPO2 w/screensaver2

---->OU2 - GPO3 w/screensaver3

 

OU1 will get screensaver 2 and OU2 will get screensaver3

This may sound stupid, but someone check me on this as I cannot afford to make 
a mistake. 

-I create a GPO called DEFAULT WU that defines Windows Update settings and I 
apply it at the domain level, so this way
it applies to all computers in the "Computers" OU
-I have another GPO called CORP WU set in an OU named "Corporate Workstations", 
where the Windows Update settings are
different then the domain level policy. 

Precedence on the "Corporate Workstations" OU lists CORP WU with precedence of 
1 and DEFAULT WU with a precedence of 2. 

Thus for the OU "Corporate Workstations", the outcome is the DEFAULT WU 
settings are ignored and the windows update
settings defined in CORP WU are the only ones applied to the computer in that 
OU?
