I’ve read through threads here and elsewhere and I think I have a handle on this. I’m making a note to myself in OneNote so I have a reference next time I need to look at something but want to make sure I’ve got it all right. Here is what I believe to be true -

The policy itself precedence is lowest in the tree, so -

Sub OU > OU > Domain

For the list in a given OU the lower the number the later applied and the greater the precedence, so -

1 > 7 > 13

Finally an enforced GPO will win over a conflicting GPO that is not enforced

Is that an accurate summary of what will get applied when there is a conflict?

You are correct. Here is a great article breaking it down with many examples: Group Policy Order of Precedence FAQ | Me, Myself and IT Don’t forget about loopback processing as well. Similar to enforced gpos, great MS blog here explaining loopback processing: Circle Back to Loopback | Microsoft Learn

Thanks, both are really nice articles. Much clearer than what I was finding. I wasn’t aware of loopback processing and now that I am it makes my head hurt a little ;).

I don’t think that is something I would use, to hard to keep track of what’s really going on.

Thanks again for the verification and the links.

Did this show up as a question? I mean I know I was asking a question but I thought I set this as a discussion, because it was more clarification than question. If I can mark an answer I will.

Edit: I only have a Manage menu under my posts, I’m pretty sure this is set as discussion.
