6.7.7 Resolving Conflicts Between Group Policy Settings
Group Policy settings in all of the GPOs that affect a user or computer account are applied, unless two or
more settings conflict. If settings from a parent container GPO conflict with settings from a child container
GPO, the settings in the child container are applied last and take effect. If settings from GPOs that are linked
to the same container conflict, the settings in the GPO at the top of the list of GPOs on the Group Policy tab
of the Properties dialog box for the container are applied last and take effect. When computer and user
settings conflict, in most instances, the computer setting overrides the user settings and applies, even though
the user setting was processed last. This override is not enforced by the Group Policy infrastructure but is a
convention that is followed by the operating system and by applications that use Group Policy.
