Using SUS With 2 Group Policies

[leeym]

Ok this is what I did:

1. Created 2 separate OU's (SUS-Workstations & SUS-Servers)
2. Within each OU, created a security group (each named SUS-Workstations & SUS-Servers)
3. For each security group, added the appropriate computer
4. Created new GPO's called SUS-Workstation & SUS-Server (each with similar, but slightly different characteristics)
5. In each GPO, applied a security filer. Example: For the SUS-Servers GPO, added the SUS-Servers security group
6. Updated GPO security group permissions to read/write
7. Linked & enabled both GPO's to the domain

What's odd is at first after several restarts, nothing worked. Then I added the 'Authenticated Users' group to the security filter along with read/write permissions, and it worked. BUT only for the SUS-Servers area.

Why not for the workstations. Everything else is consistent. Aalso, does this all sound correct?

Thanks

Objects don't need read/write permissions to apply GPOs. Objects need two permissions: read and apply group policy.

Where do you find Apply Group Policy? I had to use GPOs the other day on a 2000 AD domain, and couldn't find that particular security permission.

If you are using GPMC, all you need to do is add the appropriate users or groups to the scope box. This automatically gives them read and apply group policy permissions.
