thibbard -> RE: Apply GPO to Site or OU (7/2/2008 9:00:45 AM) Try google-ing on "Group Policy GPO Best Practice" for a ton of articles that might be useful.  For starters, remember to keep things as simple as you can.  Here's a few to start with: http://www.informit.com/articles/printerfriendly.aspx?p=98126 and http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Best-Practices-Designing-Group-Policy.html

jsandys -> RE: Apply GPO to Site or OU (7/2/2008 1:06:44 PM) It really depnds on what your goals are for the specific GPO.  I rarely use top level OUs or sites, it just casts the net too wide.  Sites also have the potential problem of applying to multiple domains if they exist in the same site.  This question should be addressed in your OU design as one of the major considerations when design OUs is how are you going to manage the AD objects and resources.  Check out this article in TechNet magazine for an in-deph discussion: http://blogs.technet.com/tnmag/archive/2008/05/02/designing-ou-structures-that-work.aspx.
