GPO question

Mornin' all I don't think this is possible, but...is there a way to set a GPO so that users in a particular OU are restricted to logging on to a few servers? I am looking really for something to manipulate the user's "Log On To" settings in Active Directory rather than the "Allow log on locally" u

Strange GPO issue...

We've disabled Internet access using GPO by restricting access to Tools-Internet options and rerouted the proxy to local (127.0.0.1). However, only the Tools-Internet options part of the GPO apply. The local proxy setting does not. The GPO looks good. GPResult indicates that the full GPO is

RE: GPO question

User account restrictions are not manipulated via GPO. You (or someone) could construct a script that runs periodically to scan an OU and make sure all accounts in the OU have a certain configuration of "log on to". So there is "a way to do this", it just might not be the way you wanted...
