I recently changed the computer lock settings in our group policy management from 90 minutes to just 10 minutes. While this isn't a problem for most, we've decided to make exceptions for some users after receiving some backlash about it. I created a separate rule aimed at a specific group of users, but they're still experiencing lockouts after 10 minutes. I enforced the rule to ensure it takes precedence since the initial rule applies to all authenticated users. This is all a bit new to me since I've mainly worked on server and network issues, but since my coworker who set everything up left, it's mainly fallen to me. Any guidance on fixing this would be greatly appreciated! By the way, I've managed to get my test machine to 18+ minutes without locking, so that's progress!

Make sure to run `gpresult /h` on the affected machines. This will show you which policy is currently in effect. You might need to fix the OU location to apply the right policy or deny the first policy for those specific users.
Actually, I think I might have found the answer myself. My test machine is still going strong at 15:38 minutes now! I linked the policy to specific groups where those users are located. If it fails again, I’ll definitely check out your suggestion.
