Hello, im having a little problem applying GPO for certain security group only. Ive created a group called group1. Ive also created an OU where i linked the GPO. I have moved myself and security group called group1 to that OU. Then i added myself to be a member of group1. In the GPO i filtered it to apply only for group1 and removed authenticated users. For some reason its not working, any idea what could be wrong? I have tried so many different ways but still no luck. The GPO contains Bitlocker configuration.

Thanks!

What error messages, if any, are being presented?

Use Powershell to take a closer look at the current policies.

You can easily find other similar links. However, you must carefully read what is being presented and be certain that you understand the "what's and why's".

Stay with using "Get-" to determine the current configuration.

Determine the current configuration and compare that to the desired GPO.

Then edit accordingly.

Back up first and proceed very slowly and carefully thereafter.

Be methodical and keep notes.

Got it, thanks. Seems like i applied the GPO to users not computers. I had to add computers to be a member of group1 not users.
