      Folders in that list that don't have the double folder within a folder icon are not OUs. As such GPO's don't apply to objects in them.

      learned this the hard way a long time ago.

          Agreed - that may solve quite a number of reoccurring issues we have with that site.

            I guess I don't understand what this means. What icon are you talking about?

              I recall Scott telling a story where he was Windows certified up the wazoo but had never heard of, let alone used robocopy. Sadly this tid bit of knowledge - I don't recall it being offered up during my reading and getting certified in Windows Server 2008.

                  Well I saw the title and thought you meant Linux home folders and thought I could give some insight. Ha never mind 😛

                    Yep, those are containers. When you head into you Group Policy Management Console, you'll notice things like 'Computers' and 'Users' aren't listed there to which you can link your GPOs.

                      That users folder is the system users container not a OU per se. no GPOs
