An Organizational Unit targeting item allows a preference item to be applied to computers or users only if the user or computer is a member of the organizational unit (OU) specified in the targeting item. If Is Not is selected, it allows the preference item to be applied only if the user or computer is a not member of the OU specified in the targeting item.
Organizational unit |
The OU for which to detect membership. Matching is not case sensitive. You can specify an OU that is unqualified (MySubUnit), partially qualified (OU=MyOrgUnit,OU=MySubUnit), or fully qualified (OU=MyOrgUnit,OU=MySubUnit,DC=MyDC,DC=MyCompany,DC=com).

If this check box is selected, the targeting item returns true only if the user or computer is a direct member of the specified OU. If the user or computer inherited membership, the targeting item returns false. | ||||

Additional considerations
-
If a user or computer is not a member of an OU, but is a member of a security group that is a member of the OU, the user or computer is not a member of the OU.
-
To reposition a targeting item within the list of targeting items that you have applied to a preference item, either drag the targeting item to a new position, or select the targeting item and then click the Move Up arrow or Move Down arrow.
-
Preference items are available only in domain-based GPOs.
