Enabled. Not Configured is just that, not configured - so there is no conflict. The only time you would have to worry about link order would be if the second GPO was set to something different…like disabled.<\/p>","upvoteCount":5,"datePublished":"2017-07-07T13:21:42.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/ad-gpo-question/592004/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"semicolon","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/semicolon"}},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Quick question for the AD GPO Experts…<\/p>\n
OU has 2 GPO’s linked to it \nGPO #1<\/span> has a setting that is enabled (link order 1) \nGPO #2<\/span> has the same setting that is Not Configured (link order 2) \nIs the final result enabled or not configured. From my testing, it is enabled, however I just want to verify this is the correct thinking and perhaps something to verify it.<\/p>","upvoteCount":7,"datePublished":"2017-07-07T13:19:02.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/ad-gpo-question/592004/1","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"nickcasagrande","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/nickcasagrande"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
The final setting would be enabled…<\/p>\n
In each GPO, only the settings that are enabled, or disabled are read. Those not configured are ignored.<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2017-07-07T13:21:27.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/ad-gpo-question/592004/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"itcowboy","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/itcowboy"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"

That’s is why you can have multiple GPOs on the same OU and unless there is two overlapping setting things will work fine.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2017-07-07T15:50:17.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/ad-gpo-question/592004/6","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"dbeato","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/dbeato"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
