Select the Group Policy Object in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) and the click on the “Delegation” tab and then click on the “Advanced” button. This happens because you have removed the ability to for the user to read contents GPO but don’t worry this does not mean the policy will be applied to that user.

You should never do this as this however as this can cause “Inaccessible” (see image below) error messages on Group Policy Objects in the Group Policy Management Console for anyone who is not an Domain Administrator. Note: Before I start I should point out a common mistake here is to remove “Authenticated Users” directory from the Security Filtering section on the Group Policy Object. This avoids ever have to go back and modify the GPO security filtering if you need to add more object to the policy in the future. As I previously mentioned it is always best to use a security groups with GPO filtering even if you are only going applying it to a single user or computer. Last week I showed you how to exclude an individual users from having a Group Policy Object (GPO) applied and this time I will show you how to properly apply a GPO to an individual user or computer.
