Correct way for applying GPO.

[mypass604]

I am using Login script for Mapping drive at clinet side. I use GPO and write script in a bat file.


NET USE x: \\SERVER_NAME\Sahre Folder Name /PERSISTENT:NO

There are five OU and in each OU there are 10 users. For adding the bat file I use the following steps.

Active Directrory Users and Computers .....>Right Click Domain Name ......>Properties......>Group Policy.....> Default Domain Policy...>Edit...User Configuration.....>Windows Settings......>Script.....>Login

Please guide me that is it the correct way

1- The above mentioned steps but under Group Policy I shall press "NEW" give it a name "Mapped Drive " and then press edit.

or

2- Right Click on each OU Properties......>Group Policy.....> Default Domain Policy.

Please guide me the professional way .

thanks in advance.

Policy is applied when the computer starts and when the user logs on. When a user turns on the computer, the system applies computer policy. When a user logs on interactively, the system loads the user profile, then applies user policy. If you want the same policy (ie logon script) to apply to all the users, then create a new GPO and link it to the domain. Otherwise If you need specific policies for different OU just create new GPO and link them to that OU. When processing the GPO, the system checks the access-control list (ACL) associated with the GPO. If an access-control entry (ACE) denies the computer or user access to the GPO, the system does not apply the policy settings specified by the GPO. If the ACE allows access to the GPO, the system applies the policy settings specified by the GPO.
