That is exactly the reason why I would expect computer configuration group
policy to work with Domain Computers group.
But your note inspired me to make another test. I changed Security
Filtering from Domain Computers group to a computer account, in my case
WINMGMT$ (AD\WINMGMT$). And the policy started to work which really makes
me crazy. What is the difference? Winmgmt computer is a domain member and
so the member of Domain Computers group.
Now I really don't understand the behavior. The group policy is linked to
the whole domain, I didn't create any custom OU...
