What is the order in which GPOs are applied?
Local, Site, Domain, OU Group Policy settings are processed in the following order: 1:- Local Group Policy object-each computer has exactly one Group Policy object that is stored locally. This processes for both computer and user Group Policy processing. 2:- Site-Any GPOs that have been linked to the site that the computer belongs to are processed next. Processing is in the order that is specified by the administrator, on the Linked Group Policy Objects tab for the site in Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). The GPO with the lowest link order is processed last, and therefore has the highest precedence. 3:- Domain-processing of multiple domain-linked GPOs is in the order specified by the administrator, on the Linked Group Policy Objects tab for the domain in GPMC. The GPO with the lowest link order is processed last, and therefore has the highest precedence. 4:- Organizational units-GPOs that are linked to the organizational unit that is highest in the Active Directory hierarchy are processed first, then GPOs that are linked to its child organizational unit, and so on. Finally, the GPOs that are linked to the organizational unit that contains the user or computer are processed. At the level of each organizational unit in the Active Directory hierarchy, one, many, or no GPOs can be linked. If several GPOs are linked to an organizational unit, their processing is in the order that is specified by the administrator, on the Linked Group Policy Objects tab for the organizational unit in GPMC. The GPO with the lowest link order is processed last, and therefore has the highest precedence. This order means that the local GPO is processed first, and GPOs that are linked to the organizational unit of which the computer or user is a direct member are processed last, which overwrites settings in the earlier GPOs if there are conflicts. (If there are no conflicts, then the earlier and later settings are merely aggregated.)
What would you use to prevent GPOs linked to parent containers from affecting child containers?
Inheritance blocking
In what order does Windows Server 2003 process Gpos?
Local GPOs, Site GPOs, Domain GPOs, Organizational unit GPOs. Solution: Server 2003 processes the local group policy object (GPO) first, followed by the site, domain, and applicable organizational units (OUs). The client requests a GPO list from the domain controller (DC) and then processes that list to apply the policies contained in the GPO(s). The client processes the GPOs according to the priority in the DC-supplied list. Windows Server 2003 processes GPOs at startup and logon and also when the GPO refresh period is reached, which by default is 90 minutes.
How are GPOS identified?
Group policies are used by administrators to configure and control user environment settings. Group Policy Objects (GPOs) are used to configure group policies which are applied to sites, domains, and organizational units (OUs). Group policy may be blocked or set so it cannot be overridden. The default is for subobjects to inherit the policy of their parents. There is a maximum of 1000 applicable group policies. Group policies are linked to domains, organizational units, or sites in Active Directory. A policy must be linked to a container object in Active Directory to be effective. They are stored in any domain for storage but can be linked to other domains to make them effective there also. The policy must be linked to the container (site, domain, or OU) that it is stored in to be effective in that container. One policy object can be linked to sveral containers. Several policy objects can be linked to one container.

When dealing with multiple GPOs which GPO will take precedence on windows vista computer?

What can you do to prevent inheritance from above?
IN OOPS Concept. Declare your class as Final. A final class cannot be inherited by any other class. WINDOWS SERVER 2003 ADhttp://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_GPO_links_What_special_things_can_you_do_to_them B: You can block policy inheritance for a domain or organizational unit. Using block inheritance prevents GPOs linked to higher sites, domains, or organizational units from being automatically inherited by the child-level. By default, children inherit all GPOs from the parent, but it is sometimes useful to block inheritance. For example, if you want to apply a single set of policies to an entire domain except for one organizational unit, you can link the required GPOs at the domain level (from which all organizational units inherit policies by default), and then block inheritance only on the organizational unit to which the policies should not be applied. source:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc757050(WS.10).aspx
