GPO not applying at OU level

I'm a new user here, and I've searched for this here. I had an Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on already working. Then I changed the wording on the logon banner, and also the Interactive logon: Message title for users attempting to log on title to something else. But after I did gpupdate /force and restarting, its still showing the old messages and title. I did gpupdate /force at least 3 times, and also restarted computer, but its showing the old wording and title.

I have policy applied to an OU, and when I do gpresult /v this is what it shows. Why is it doing that? I'm new to this company, and all I did was change the wording and title for the interactive logon.

I'm looking this post for guidance, and when I do gpresult /scope computer /z I can see the updated text on there, but then why isn't updated on the actual loon banner? https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2225694-gpo-computer-settings-not-applying

`I have policy applied to an OU`. Which OU? What does `gpresult /h gpresult.html` show as the location where the current policy is applied from?

@GregAskew, sorry I'm just seeing your reply. The logon banner is updated now. For some reason that was applied to domain and OU level. Once I updated it at the domain level, its showing the updated text. So does this mean I can disable the interactive logon banner from the OU level?

I figured it out, so just like it says in the other post, I had a domain level setting taking precedence over the OU level. Now its showing updated text.

So I assume this means I can not enforce the GPO on the OU level or vice versa? Meaning, I don't need the same thing on two locations.

That's the reason why enforcement exists, so it cannot be overridden at a lower level.

Thank you, so just to make sure (since I'm the only IT guy here at my company), I can disable the logon banner at the OU level?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
