Order Of Windows 2000 And 2003 Group Policy Inheritance Brief Overview
Tuesday, 29 August 2006 by Michel Roth
From John Kellet's blog: How does Group Policy inheritance work? This is a question I am asked alot. It can be a complicated issue for a beginner or even for an experienced administrator if there are lots of policies involved. It’s also something that WILL crop up many times in the MCSE exams with various different scenarios and outcomes. There are pages and pages on the internet describing how the group policy inheritance works. Here I try and condense it as simply as possible to make an easy reference guide.

Basically the PC you are on will take its orders from the last policy applied to it. They are applied in the order below.

I.) Local Policy.
II.) Site Policy.
III.) Domain Policy.
IV.) OU Policy.
