Group policy on Security Group

Question

HI
I have a question regarding Group Policy targeted to a security group.
I have two policies.

1.One targeted to server ou
2. The other targeted to Security Group

Scenario 1

I have added Computer accounts to the security group but not all. Only a group of them.

If i want them to revert back to the linked Server OU GPO, does the computer in the group require a reboot.

under gpresult for these computer is just says its filtered out.

Scenario 2

Or if i eventually have all computersin the server ou in the security group in gpo2. and i disable gpo1. and then remove the security group for gpo2 and its applied to the server ou. Does this require a reboot or as its is the same gpo that all the computer accounts have nothing will happen and life continues on.

Answer 1

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

Group Policy is automatically refreshed when you restart the domain member computer, or when a user logs on to a domain member computer.

In addition, Group Policy is periodically refreshed. By default, this periodic refresh is performed every 90 minutes with a randomized offset of up to 30 minutes.

But if you have made significant changes than reboot of client computer is suggested.
