I have 3 OU's that needs to use different GPO's.
Should i create 3 new ones and ignore the default domain GPO incl the SBS logon script and create my login scripts to map drives etc.?

Why would you ignore the default? If you're overriding some of the settings, then fine. But if not, I'd leave it there. Same with the login script.

I would add 3 GPO's but make the settings add to the default policy and logonscript rather than replacing them the SBS default policys are quite comprehensive for the correct config of sbs to run .. make sure you create the ou's under mydomain\mybusiness\users

I personally always provide the advice to only set the password policies in the default domain policy and for any other settings you wish, create a new GPO.

You can remove administrative overhead of having multiple GPOs by removing unneeded ADM files or by creating custom ADM files. Refer to my FAQ for some additional details. faq329-6116

I hope you find this post helpful.

Mark
