Understanding Group Policy Order of Precedence

In this video we will take a look at group policy processing order. We will understand the sequence of group policy processing.
To remember Group Policy Processing Order you have to understand LSDOU.
L: Local Group Policy
S: AD Site Base Group Policy
D: Domain Base Group Policy
OU: OU Base Group Policy
Last GPO has the highest level of precedence over earlier GPO.

Great Video! Your pacing was excellent. I was able to follow what you were saying. I feel much more confident with GPs now :)

[@MSFTWebCast]

Great to hear!

[@craigstephenson6684]

Thanks for this. Really useful.
One thing maybe you could mention in a future video, is the “enforced” option for a gpo . As this can prevent higher precedence policies from taking effect in there is a conflict. :-)

[@MSFTWebCast]

Sure.

Great video.
Is there any way to reset a standalone PC (not a domain "registered") GPOs to the "factory" (when Windows was first installed) without going GPO by GPO and setting by setting inside each GPO?

[@MSFTWebCast]

Reset Group Policy Objects using Command Prompt:
(Note: Open Command Prompt with admin)
1. RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers"
2. RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicy"
3. gpupdate /force
Restore Local Security Policies to default:
1. secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose

hi ,
fist of all thank you for your great work!
How about Forced linked GPO, does it break the LSDOU order?

[@fatherfigure2766]

Yes enforced even take percedenced over block inheritance.
So just remember it's LSDOUCOUE
Local
Site
Domain
OU
Child OU
Enforced the last GPO applied wins even if in the middle somewhere there is any block inheritance
