So order of precedence.
Let's take a look at it in the test system that we have here.
Now, let's take the scenario where my user Joe user Joe Sales in the user's view in sales wants to
process policy.
Remember that we said that the order of processing is LCD, O.U.
Or local site domain and.
Oh, you.
Well, let's say that Joe's sales computer is in the Dallas site.
And let's say that the Dallas site in in this case is this default first site, name site.
Note that I have a link to that site called Dallas Sales Office Printers.
So after Joel logs into his system, the local GPO gets processed.
Then he's going to process the site based on EU or GPOs, in this case, the Dallas Sales Office printers.
Then we move up to the domain level and you will see that at the domain level.
The domain has the default domain policy linked and this other GPO called Domain Wide Settings link
to it.
If I come over here, you'll see these links and you'll note that they have a link order.
I can.
In the case of any container, you can have many GPOs linked to that container level.
I can use these up and down arrows to change the order of precedence or the order of processing within
a container.
Where the one that's number one in the link order is process last and therefore remembering our last
writer wins rule this the GPO.
If there are any conflicting settings between these two GPOs the domain wide settings GPL will win because
it will be the last one that gets processed by that user.
So again, you can have multiple GPOs on a container and you can control not only, you know, the LSW
model applies across containers but within containers you can apply or control the order.
And number one means process last and therefore wins.
It's the highest priority.
Finally any GPOs linked to the users.
Oh you were the Joe sales user account resides are processed lsw.
So this guy gets processed last.
And if it has any conflicting settings of any of the GPOs above it, those also would be overridden
by the settings within the sales user policy.
So the concepts are local site domain or you for a given user or computer.
And within a container you can have multiple GPOs and you can control the order of those.
Hopefully that makes the whole notion of LSW a little bit clearer and brings it home in terms of how
the engine evaluates the list and when it runs each GPO.
