Hi everybody,
I'm studying for my 70-299 using the MS Press Training Kit. The explanation of the correct answer to one of the CD's practice questions concerning security policies contains this statement:
"...GPOs that configure security settings must be linked at a domain; otherwise, the settings will not apply. Therefore, you cannot use a GPO linked to [an] OU to manually configure the security settings or import them from a template."
This has me very confused. I thought the linking of GPOs with configured security settings to OUs was considered a fine method for applying security policies. I'm about to sit for the exam, and to have something of this importance suddenly pop up is unsettling. I'm guessing that this statement is incorrect. From how I read things, it directly conflicts with other test questions as well as with the text book itself.
I've written Microsoft but figure I might as well have put the message in a bottle and tossed it in the ocean. Does anybody else have the answer to this?
Thanks, Kirk
