My domain controller is win2k3 server r2 with latest sps.  I am using gpmc
sp1.  I have broken up users into 4 ou's, level 1-4.  There are 2 domain
wide group policies.  They are 1.  WSUS  2. Default Domain Policy.  I had
created a new group policy and assigned it to Level 1 ou.  This policy sets
the account lockout rules.   When generating RSOP for Level 1 ou users,  The
account lockout policies chosen are that of Default Domain Policy group
policy.  My goal was to override that which is in Default Domain Policy with
the policy assigned to Level 1 ou.

Can someone tell me where I went wrong her?

Thanks in advance

yes, you can't apply account policy for domain user accounts at any level
except the domain level. So the changes you are making to account lockout
rules at the OU level are only applying to local user accounts on the
computers in that OU--not to domain user accounts. You can only have one
domain account policy per domain in Win2K3.

Thanks.  How, then, do I determine which policies could be change on domain
level and which on domain level?
